Gadjo Fem Sordii @ Harlequin Fayre 2012

Contact info Website http://www.gadjomusica.com/ Gadjistan Zizany starts like dynamite with a Balkanesque-polka-boogaloo- ska celebration of saucepan banging protests in Catalan and Spanish. And continues with an unstoppable groove through the 14 songs composed by the 7 immigrant members of the Barcelona band.There are tales of travel and lost lovers in Mexico, a cacophony of marimba players, pots and pans, mariarchi melodies, kafka boogaloo, broken shoes, sirens, sailors, squatters, skallywags, old ladies breaking and entering, a Jung Freud, zubrovka romance, paranoia, punk gardeners, and pianos falling from the sky.Gadjo's fourth album is exuberant and eclectic, raucous and tender. An explosion of voice, horns, flute, clarinet, accordion, doublebass, guitar and percussion. The multiple styles of gadjo come together to forge the diverse but not disparate characteristic Gadjistan flavour. The Cumbias have been balkanized, the Skas whipped into boogaloos, swings kidnapped by drum and bass. Gadjo's music has matured yet remains as refreshing, energetic and playful as ever, still with colours of their roots in acoustic street music but more jumping and having it than ever. !!!
