Sounds LikeFiery Gypsy brass, soulful Balkan anthems, and hip-grinding American funk: Slavic Soul Party! is just what it says. Brash and strong as slivovitz, these nine musicians have forged a virtuosic new brass band music in the heart of New York City – melding Gypsy, East European, Mexican, and Asian immigrant backgrounds with American jazz and soul – and “developed a reputation for delivering a great time.” (NY Times)

Hooray! I moved from Cincinnati, but now you're coming to Minneapolis! I probably can't bring you giant burritos to the Cedar, but I'll bring myself and as many friends as I can wrangle.

Can't wait to see you guys again.

Sorry I couldn't make it to the show tonight, but I'll catch you at the Zlatne Uste Golden Festival next month.
Hope to see you at Guca in 2008! If things go as planned, I'll be moving to Bulgaria next summer, Guca would be an easy roadtrip from Sofia.
Matt, were those Serbian CDs I gave you back in June @ the Knitting Factory any good? Not much brass there, but lotsa folk stuff.

Keep the Slavic Soul alive & kicking in Brooklyn, the Balkans and beyond!!
