Biography
"You've seen it all before, we've got no taste, we're all a bore".
It takes guts to enter the Eurovision Song Contest with an opening line
like that. However, it doesn't take long to understand that we're dealing
with tongue-in-cheek humour. You may accuse InCulto of many things but
inducing boredom is not one of them.
It all started in 2003 - Jurgis Didiulis, a Colombian-born musician,
found himself immersed in club scene of Lithuania, homeland of his grandparents.
He never looked back. Mixing Latin rhythms, funk energy and "don't
give a damn" attitude of punk, InCulto was destined to become an
irresistible good fun recipe - full of vigour and with a touch of quirkiness.
Mainstream success was imminent. Seven years down the line, InCulto boasts
two well-received albums, a number of Lithuanian music awards, more than
500 gigs worldwide. In 2006, the band was nominated by MTV Europe for
Best Baltic Act award. And Jurgis went even further, proving he's no one
trick pony by inventing a successful electro-rock side project TWNKL and
performing role of Judas at big scale Lithuanian arena production of Jesus
Christ Superstar. In 2010, InCulto were selected to take part in the ESC
with Eastern European Funk. An infectious, somewhat humorous commentary
on the differences of Eastern and Western Europe. |
