Urban Gypsy
Shukar Collective
Riverboat, TUG1037, 2005The Shukar Collective was born in Romania from the meeting of new generation musicians with the gypsy traditions of Shukar founders Napoleon, Tamango and Clasic. Shukar play ursari music (ursar means 'bear tamer' or 'bear handler') using spoons, wooden barrels or darabuka to create a powerful and urgent sound that is at the same time emotional and soulful. Urban Gypsy combines Shukar's original ursari music with the new technology of the collective, resulting in their distinctive sound.
'Unclassifiable hybrid that is often funny, frequently exciting and sometimes bewildering.' Observer Music Monthly
