Artist Bio:
Slavic Soul Party is NYC's #1 BalkanSoul GypsyFunk brass band. Their music blends fiery Balkan brass, irresistible beats, Roma accordion wizardry, and virtuoso jazz chops. With a focus on immigration, integration, and ingenuity, they infuse the sounds of New York life through a Balkan brass filter. Their Tuesday night residency in Brooklyn attracts music fans from all over the world and has earned them a reputation for delivering an amazing time (New York Times).
Touring extensively across North America, Europe, and beyond for over a decade, they have performed in a wide array of venues, from Serbian schoolyards to Carnegie Hall. Their most recent album, "SSP! Plays Duke Ellington’s Far East Suite" (Ropeadope), is their sixth and pays tribute to the Ellington opus while adding their unique flavor (Chicago Reader). The album explores cultural boundaries, historical lineage, and individual creativity (Wall St. Journal).
