Slavic Soul Party!

Fiery Balkan brass, hip-grinding American grooves, and ecstatic anthems both new and old: Slavic Soul Party! is just what it says. Brash and strong as slivovitz, these nine musicians have forged a virtuosic new brass band music in the heart of New York City—melding Gypsy, East European, Mexican, and Asian immigrant backgrounds with American jazz and sou—and “developed a reputation for delivering a great time.” (NY Times)

DJ So Called

"Précurseur et fer de lance du courant hip-hop klezmer outre-atlantique, coauteur du sensationnel album "Hip Hop Khasene" avec la violoniste Sophie Solomon et de l'improbable "SoCalled Seder" featuring Killah Priest, Katie Moore, Susan Hoffman-Watts, Frank London et Irving Fields, SoCalled a surgi à Paris en octobre dernier auprès d¹Iva Bittova et du David Krakauer¹s Klezmer Madness lors d¹un concert mémorable au festival Klezmopolitan.

Dans le cadre de sa première tournée européenne d¹envergure, il fait escale à Paris le jeudi 20 avril 2006 au Studio de l'Ermitage et le mercredi 26 avril 2006 au Point Ephémère avec comme invité de marque le saxophoniste Julien Lourau (Groove Gang, Magik Malik, Bojan Z...), à Saint-Etienne le vendredi 21 avril 2006 au Grand Lux et à Marseille le vendredi 28 avril 2006 au Poste à Galène (locations points de ventes habituels).

On y découvre sa vision jubilatoire d¹un esprit yiddish nourri de jazz, de rock, d'électro, de musique orientale et surtout de hip hop, style propice aux transgressions de codes et de croyances établies.

L¹occasion pour Socalled de présenter son nouvel album "Ghetto Blaster" (Label Bleu), poursuivant son hommage festif et avant-gardiste à l¹un des héritages musicaux les plus pénétrants, vastes et entraînants qui soit." Blaise Merlin
