Myspace music is pretty random on the genres: we would have put "Balkan" as one of them, but it's not a choice (though "screamo" is?? WTF??)

   About Brass Liberation Orchestra
Please see: http://www.brassliberation.org/pou.html

The Brass Liberation Orchestra (founded in 2002) is a musical group of brass, reeds and percussion that plays music to support political causes with particular emphasis on peace, and racial and social justice. We are a work in progress. We work to build a multigender/multiracial/multigenerational group that enhances and strengthens the culture of the Left.

BLO with our friends the Original Big 7 at HONK Fest 2008 BLO with friends from many bands at HONK Fest 2008 jamming on "Ya Move, Ya Lose" by the ReBirth Brass Band Halloween 2006 in the Mission w/ the Brass Liberation Orchestra
