Jazz, Gypsy Rock, Neo-Gypsy, CD kiadvány, 2025-ös album.
These are vibrant, energetic sounds that conjure gypsy dancing around Balkan campfires. Returning to the Hungarian folk music theme, the disc opens with „Ado Chavo,” a tune from that very country. It’s a very high octane song, with Mizrahi’s Django-esque guitar and Hartog’s swirling violin burning behind Burgess’ unaffected, no-hold-barred vocals—a song that begs you to get your dancing shoes on, and maybe get a little crazy.
Want to put a category on this sound? Gypsy Rock? Neo-Gypsy. Both could fit. The group does rock, sort of: Mizrahi switches back and forth from acoustic to electric guitars, and on the electric side he can have an echoing surf music feel („Liza” and „Karen, Chavorale, Drom”) mixed in with a rough-around-the-edges, crunchy Neil Young vibe. This is fun, exuberant, sometimes dreamy, sometimes fiery stuff that bends the categories all over the place. Frank Zappa would be proud.
The group consists of vocalist Awana Burgess, violinist/vocalist Rosalie Hartog, guitarist Daniel Mizrahi and bassist Benjamin Body, along with guest percussionist Bachar Khalife (on eight of the thirteen tunes) and vocalist Erika Serre on „Suda Phabaj.”
