Express Brass Band
https://www.expressbrassband.de/
The Munich collective EXPRESS BRASS BAND has been celebrating an unmistakable brass band style for 25 years in the spirit of the Sun Ra Arkestra or the Art Ensemble of Chicago, deeply rooted in jazz, soul, Afrobeat with influences of oriental music from the Maghreb to Afghanistan.
"The sound of the Express Brass Band is not just about freedom. It is almost a synonym for this freedom. A freedom, by the way, that is not free from something, but free for something."
(Dirk Wagner)i

BUCO Italian Folk Core, somehow

Let's start with what we know for sure: Buco are Heiner Roos on bass, Jens Rumberg on drums, Daniel Kluge on guitar and mic and Marco Böhlandt on guitar, trumpet and accordion.
Apart from that, however, general knowledge about this still fairly new Munich band is rather patchy. And that's as it should be. Because "Buco" is firstly Italian, secondly means "hole", but thirdly also "gap" - the translation that the quartet prefers for obvious reasons. It's obvious, because Buco are all about things that have gaps, things like collective memory.
That's why Buco knit scraps of fabric together, tying loose red threads back into solid narrative strands: Fairy tales, sagas and legends from the south of Italy that have never made it between book covers and are only remembered in scraps are fantasized by the band into new, old stories. And they add a suitably - excuse me - "groovy" soundtrack, with fragments that sometimes sound like Calexico, sometimes like Beirut, sometimes like Pixies, and get away with it - and around.
After concerts in some of Munich's finest venues, such as Feierwerk, Alte Utting and Muffatwerk and alongside such fine combos as GRag, Leonie singt and The Moonband, it's time for us to see them again today - live at ABENDROT IM HINTERHOF!
We are really looking forward to it!
