Influences
Balkan brass, both traditional and modern... think Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria....
The Poludaktulos Orchestra (the "Many-Fingered Orchestra") originated as a unique spin on northern Greek brass band music. The group is evolving to encompass a diverse repertoire of groove-heavy, butt-shaking tunes from around the Balkans. With a rhythm section that includes tuba and accordion, as well as electric guitar and a heavy horn section, the Poludaktulos Orchestra brings the Balkan-style party!
