| Inspired by Jaroslav Hašek’s masterful idiot, klezmer band Švejk saunters in all directions at once. Psychedelic textures and haunting melodies, hopscotch grooves and harmolodic explorations – taking traditional jewish, balkan, and gypsy tunes and pickling them in a rare mix of psychedelia, progressive folk rock, jazz, and Indian concepts, Švejk refreshes the parts other klezmorim can’t reach.
Geïnspireerd door Jaroslav Hašeks geniale dwaas wandelt klezmerband Švejk in alle richtingen tegelijk. Psychedelische sferen en snijdende melodieën, hinkstapsprong grooves en harmolodische verkenningen – met traditionele joodse, zigeuner-, en balkanmuziek gemarineerd in een rauwe mix van folkrock, jazz, en Indiase ideeën verfrist Švejk de plekken waar andere klezmorim niet bij kunnen. Dolan Jones – violin contact for more info Švejk used to be known as trepid, and under that name played with Marko Bonarius on bass. |
