CONTRABAYANDO
The trio of musicians from Subotica, made up of accordion, double bass and drums, has the undisguised intention of evoking the sound world of classic French chansons, turn-of-the-century jazz and gypsy swing melodies, tangos, rumbas, bossa novas, ballads and waltzes, giving them a delicately reimagined, authentic performance. Their repertoire also includes well-known Balkan, klezmer and gypsy folk tunes. Their clean, understated sound world is complemented by a real bohemian musical language, so their concerts are always filled with a really cheerful atmosphere.
