The Matsumoto Zoku Band can be best described as an organic instrumental quartet that performs dance music with a psychedelic slant, moving between musical genres such as dance, psytrance, hip-hop, rock, funk and ambient.<\/p>\n<p>Since their formation, Matsumoto Zoku Band performed in 31 cities in 14 different countries, meanwhile they have performed six times at the Hungarian O.Z.O.R.A.
