Live world music review:
Fuzia
The Attic Bar, Bristol
Saturday 26 September 2009
Gary Lee Prestwich (Programmer, Migrations Bristol Late Music Sessions)
"This is live music at its most instantly arresting: a delirious, kinetic, Balkan bunker-party turned to 11.
Brilliant performers all, this eight-headed ‘Slavic mash-up crew’ twists the traditions of Eastern Bloc folk-dance, Balkan gypsy-jazz and Klezmerabian, with a dash of ska, into exotic, crowd-pleasing sounds. Veering from unfathomable sadness to brawling head-banging, sometimes within the same song, Fuzia plays music that is passionate, urgent, and violently alive.
And on this night, in the packed Attic Bar, they simply astound, leading the crowd on epically emotional musical odysseys before rousing them to wild circular dances. Sweat poured from everyone as, forming one body, performers and audience alike jumped in maniacal simultaneity to the thrillingly righteous racket."
