Polka Madre

Polka Madre is a musical group which has surprised its audiences with the originality of its compositions and the energy, sarcasm and humor of its live shows. After two and a half years since its conception in Mexico City, Polka Madres principle influences lie in Jewish music and the old sounds of Gypsy and Eastern European cultures. Each piece, however, varies in style, rhythm and time signature. Their repertoire ranges from euphoric polkas, melancholic waltzes to punk, rock and passages of classical music.

"The swagger of a Balkan wedding band with the riotous energy of a Latin carnival." Based in Scotland, but taking in musical influences from far and wide, Orkestra del Sol inflect their music with a raucous enthusiasm. Blending the best of brass with the swinging sounds of samba, New Orleans street music or the rolling rhythms of Turkey and the Middle East, they charge through it all with full-blooded rock and roll speed. They make mincemeat of musical categories.

The LONG FINGER BANDITS, who, armed with their artillery of guitar, trumpets, dangerously contagious drums, lovely voices, hats, puppets, face-paints and flags, leak and drip and smear cheeky droplets of gypsy, rock, folk, punk, jazz, bossanova and spit. Everywhere!

Gogol Bordello

Combining elements of punk, gypsy music, and Brechtian cabaret, Gogol Bordello tells the story of New York's immigrant diaspora through debauchery, humor, and surreal costumes. Leader and singer Eugene Hütz's taste in music was spun out of black-market tapes of the The Birthday Party and Einstürzende Neubauten in his native Ukraine.
