'''Bustamento''' is a tropical shaking six piece from Melbourne Australia that pays homage to the upbeat rhythms of the Caribbean, covering the Calypso, Mento, Early Reggae and Ska styles.

Founder and conductor [[Nicky Bomba]] is one of Australia's busiest and most highly respected musicians. He has built a solid reputation in the music industry via many projects including writing and performing with his band [[Bomba]], conducting the [[Melbourne Ska Orchestra]] to playing drums on [[John Butler]]'s award- winning ''Sunrise over Sea'' and ''April Uprising''. He has a discography of over a dozen albums and has been a composer/performer on many more.

In what was a totally fun and inspiring experience, BUSTAMENTO recorded 23 songs in one weekend and realised they had something special... Jungle drums, sweet harmonies, banjos, ukuleles, double bass, piano, trumpets, saxophones, steel drums, mbiras, jazz guitars and a healthy dose of looseness was the order of the day. The band has an amazing chemistry and with brothers Nicky and [[Michael Caruana]] side by side again, it was a winning combination.
