Artist History Formed as a four piece in 1994 Aks Mamma has undergone many changes over the years (only two original members remain). Following the band's inception the lineup steadily grew to accomodate a horn section and keyboard. As the band grew, so did the orchestration and complexity of the music. Despite continous member changes, Aks Mamma has grown stronger as a band. Aks Mamma has played many shows across the U.S. in clubs both large and small.
