Pan-European roots music: Celtic type tunes, a smattering of jazz, a flash of flamenco, a trip to Bulgaria and a lacing of sophisticated funk.
Or just ignore this "pseud's corner" stuff and just listen to the tracks here and the snippets on our main website.
Better still, buy the CD or book us!
Nottingham based five piece band TANGATA play mostly original tunes with a couple of traditional reels and songs thrown in for good measure.
The music ranges in style from rich jazz injected Celtic melodies, to the odd vocal harmony, through to Baltic frenzy and hefty funk to get people on their feet!
fROOTS magazine called it - "... a vibrant take on European folk and roots traditions and a nice line in world-influenced, jazz-inflected Celtic tunesmithery (and songs)”
Dirty Linen called it ".. a wild and very entertaining spin from the North Atlantic to the Black Sea. .... wonderfully harmonious ... . Well-played and very creative stuff."
