Angrusori
★★★ Live At Tou HUDSON. CD/DL/LP
Recorded live in Stavangar, this pushes the gypsy jazz of the Slovakian Roma into the avant-garde, with musical accompaniment by Norwegian experimentalists Kitchen Orchestra. The repertoire is recognisably Roma, as are most of the vocals, but the backing veers from deeply sympathetic to outright confrontational. Naturally, it ends in a wild hoedown that makes you wish you’d been there.
