   About Pink Puffers

 

Pink Puffers Drum&Brass "Phunk" Band:
I Pink Puffers sono una brass band di tredici elementi, con repertorio funk, jazz, blues e latin e "Phunk". Nascono a San Lorenzo (Roma) alla fine del 2005 come quintetto (tromba, alto, trombone, tuba, batteria) ma dopo un anno di concerti decidono di allargare il gruppo, di sfruttare la possibilità di muoversi marciando durante i loro concerti e di fondare, nel 2006, una vera e propria marching band, sulla scia della tradizione delle bande di strada americane. I Pink Puffers suonano ogni settimana nel centro di Roma, tra i vicoli e nelle grandi piazze della città, sui ponti, e ovviamente nei locali romani, ma non disdegnano altri eventi, situazioni in periferia o nelle altre città italiane e straniere, partecipando a festival, feste private, sagre, matrimoni e via dicendo. Il fatto di poter esibirsi senza amplificazione né microfoni permette una versatilità tale da poter suonare praticamente in ogni situazione, dai piccoli teatri ai grandi palchi, senza dimenticare ovviamente la strada. La musica dei Pink Puffers è quella tipica del panorama delle brass band americane: dalla Youngblood Brass Band alla Hungry March Band, passando ovviamente per New Orleans con la storica Dirty Dozen Brass Band. All'inizio del mese di Ottobre 2007 tutto il gruppo ha partecipato all'Honk Fest, festival di bande di strada che si tiene ogni anno a Boston. L'invito per il prossimo anno a tornare negli States è stato il riconoscimento più bello che la banda potesse ottenere... Un concerto nella Grande Mela ha concluso il recente tour americano: i Pink Puffers hanno conquistato anche New York City! Prossima stazione: New Orleans... Parteciperanno a Giugno 2008 al Festival Des Fanfares di Montpellier. La collaborazione iniziata recentemente con l'etichetta Megasound porterà il gruppo alla produzione del primo cd di pezzi originali. I componenti della band formano il Joe Tuba Funk Club, gruppo esclusivo del quale solo alcuni dei nostri fans piu' accaniti riescono a cogliere il senso...

ENGLISH VERSION: 

PINK PUFFERS: WHERE PUNK MEETS FUNK EVERYTHING BECOMES PINK!
PINK PUFFERS BRASS BAND PINK PUFFERS: WHERE PUNK MEETS FUNK EVERYTHING BECOMES PINK! PINK PUFFERS BRASS BAND: we are a thirteen members marching band playing mainly funk, jazz, blues and latin. Our base is "Il Grande Cocomero" (an old basement of a non-profit organisation where volunteers help psychiatric children), in the nice neighborhood of San Lorenzo in Rome. We started playing at the end of 2005 as a quintet (trumpet, alto, trombone, tuba and drum set), and after a whole year playing essentially on stage we decided to enlarge the group to found a true, loud and noisy marching band. Pink Puffers play almost every week in the center of Rome, in the streets, in our wonderful squares or on our romantic ancient bridges. Obviously we also play during parties, weddings, festivals and other events, also in other cities. You can find our influences among the brass bands' panorama, from Youngblood Brass Band to Hungry March Band, including the music of New Orleans, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and all the bands playing at Honk Fest. Our final aim is to see people in front of us having fun. WHY PINK? Because a pink band playing black music is an hymn to anti-racism, because the pink panther is pink (and swing, and jazz, and like us), because pink people are against bush and war and stupidity generally speaking, because pink is the colour of the flowers that will become peaches, and because pink puffers are clinical patients affected by emphysema (and emphysema is a disease of who works blowing, like us with our wind-instruments...). The JOE TUBA FUNK CLUB is our way to thank Joe Tuba and the Hungry March Band for coming to Europe and for changing our way to play brass and our idea of brass band. A LITTLE BIT OF MEDICINE: WHAT IS A PINK PUFFER? Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients have both chronic bronchitis and emphysema. However, a patient will typically be classified as either suffering primarily from one or the other. Patients suffering primarily from emphysema are referred to as "pink puffers", while patients suffering primarily from chronic bronchitis are referred to as "blue bloaters". The term "pink puffer" is derived from the reddish complexion and the "puffing" (hyperventilation) seen in patients suffering from Type A Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Signs and Symptoms of Pink Puffers. A pink puffer is typically thin and breathes with pursed lips. A pink puffer has tachypnoeic (increased respiratory rate) and experiences breathing difficulty. A pink puffer suffers primarily from emphysema. Tests and Analyses of Pink Puffers Arterial Blood Gas results show evidence of less hypoxemia than blue bloaters, and no carbon dioxide retention. Prognosis for Pink Puffers. Prognosis for pink puffers is better than for blue bloaters.
