Fiery brass, throbbing grooves, accordion wizardry, and virtuoso jazz chops make Slavic Soul Party the city’s official brass band for Balkan soul and gypsy funk. Nine members strong, the group pumps a Balkan brass sound through the filter of the diverse musical life in New York's outer boroughs. Sponsored by Target.About the Band
Slavic Soul Party! is more than a band, it’s a promise, and anyone who has seen them live can attest to that. The massive brass band is a supercollider of Eastern European sounds from the Balkans and all the funk of American musical traditions like second-line, gospel, and jazz. Hybridity isn’t just a buzzword with this New York City-based group — domestic and foreign, new and old — it’s a fact of life. The fusion even carries over into the title of the band's fifth album, Taketron, mashing up Japanese drummer Take Toriyama’s love of electronic music with the rapid fire of Balkan brass, and the incessant creativity of some of New York’s finest musicians.
