180gr vinyl of LIVE? LP, the second album of MOMBAO.

The plastic cover has a big red question mark designed with our precious hand, one by one. Each copy is one of a kind.
LIVE?
A MOMBAO performance isn’t just something you listen to — it’s an experience which crashes into you and leaves you changed.
Over the years, they have turned every stage — from DIY spaces to some of Italy’s biggest festivals — into a collective Dionysian ritual. With hundreds of shows across Italy, Europe, Morocco, and the Balkans, they’ve established themselves as one of the most iconic live acts of their generation.
Trying to capture their live presence on a record would be madness. At the core of their research lies the visceral body and the political occupation of space.
Their fractured dance is a collective uprising, a liberation from norms, an imagination of a solar and human future. Every performance is largely improvised, making each show unique and unrepeatable.
LIVE? is more than an album — it’s a portal.
An immersive listening experience that places you right at the center of the stage, letting you feel what they feel when they play, surrounded by their audience, down off the stage.
Put on your headphones and suddenly you’re there — in the middle of it, overwhelmed by screams, transported into one of their rituals, out of breath.
Is LIVE? just one concert or many? Was it recorded live or in the studio? Was I there that day? The answers don’t matter — the question remains.
LIVE? is a record that transmits an experience: sweat, ringing ears, the feeling of being part of something that happened — and that won’t happen again, unless you see them live.
