The nine members of Slavic Soul Party mix accordion, old world brass band, New Orleans funk, virtuoso jazz chops, klezmer rhythms, a keen sense of the absurd, a dash of anarchy and an appreciation of New York City’s immigrant soul into “the most danceable Balkan-flavored pop this side of the Adriatic” (Global Rhythm). Founded by drummer and vibraphonist Matt Moran, and stocked with some of New York’s finest jazz players, the band tours incessantly in Europe and the U.S., including on the hard rocking skate punk Warped Tour. Slavic Soul Party has showcased its “fiery Gypsy brass, soulful Balkan anthems and hip-grinding American funk” (New York Times) on four albums to date: In Makedonija, Bigger, Teknochek Collision and Remixed. Not many bands appeal equally to young hipsters and elderly immigrants, but Slavic Soul Party dishes out the fun, music and good times with a unique flair that brings audiences together. |
