About the show
A long time collaboration of three esteemed London musicians with many musical roots who have been honing a heady mélange of gypsy jazz, Hungarian czardasz, East European folk styles, dirty tango, French musette and swing together for over 20 years, performing at many venues and festivals in the UK and Europe. Managing to combine folky roughness, passion, slow Balkan decoration, evocative French style accordion, klezmer-like acceleration, dreamy ballads and the American songbook into their performances.
Featuring - The Marama Cafe Band
Gypsy hotclub jazz, a mix of British, French and Romanian musicians who started playing together in 2000 as accompanists for the Romanian singer Ileana Rozavlea.
Since then they have developed their own style which includes modern and inventive interpretations of Gypsy Swing, French Café Music and Chanson and East European folk as well as original arrangements of Benny Goodman tunes and their own arrangements.
