Soul with a “!”
In the hoot-and-whirl tradition of Gogol Bordello and Balkan Beat Box, massive NYC brass-and-other-things band Slavic Soul Party! brings Eastern European funk sounds to the dancing masses, on the order of our own beloved Brass Menazeri crew. New album Taketron (barbes) is a shining example of the delicious new Romany hybridity.
Don’t believe me? Download a slice of Taketron and listen for yourself here.
Then watch the feathers fly to this SSP track:
Then join the freakin’ party!
