FANATTICA :: SHE'KOYOKH

Fanattica

Songs of Krakow cross-dressing, Greek Forbidden Times, Chinese martial arts, Baltic sailors.
Tangos and balalaikas mingle with sensitive singer-songwriters. Black and white cats escape the
clutches of Hungarian Nazis, while Polish shopping fuels a Yorkhireman's hangover.

"Proficient Greek/ Polish folk act Fanattica recreate an authentically rowdy continental wedding party"

SHE'KOYOKH

She'Koyokh is the U.K's internationally - acclaimed klezmer Ensemble: and winners the first competition hosted by Amsterdam's International Jewish Music Festival, 2008.

The infectious sounds of She'koyokh's extensive repertoire have stopped people in their tracks on the streets of London since 2001. Graduating from street corners to international festival and concert stages, playing wild dance parties, weddings and collaborating with Gypsy and Balkan musicians on their travels, She'koyokh touches audiences of all ages from all walks of life. Exhilarating solos, innovative compositions, and stunning new arrangements bring Jewish roots music alive, and embrace the rich variety of musical styles found throughout the Balkans.

Highlights include premiering a klezmer concerto at London's Southbank, nine gigs in three days at Buskers Bern, regular appearances on national TV and radio, a sell-out at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw and performing the opening concert at the Jewish Cultural Festival in Munich 2009. The band's two studio albums Sandanski's Chicken, and Buskers Ballroom sell like hot cakes everywhere the band plays.
