Slavic Soul Party!

by Emma

slavicsoul.jpg National Geographic is not the first source I usually think of for music discoveries, but recently I read about a group on their site that sounds great.

Slavic Soul Party! — NG describes them as having a “funkified brass sound” and The New York Times says: “Fiery Gypsy brass, soulful Balkan anthems, and hip-grinding American funk: Slavic Soul Party! is just what it says.”

Anytime your band name has an exclamation point built right in - you’re off to a good start. Go to their site for samples of their music. Their new album, Teknochek, comes out April 3rd (tomorrow)!
