Die Gewürztraminer & Da Gemischte Satz - Balkan-Gypsy-Swing aus Wien
Austria's most innovative Gypsy - Balkan troupe detonates like an avalanche in the ears and dance legs of their listeners. The virtuoso instrumentalists navigate through wonderfully thought-out arrangements across all conceivable music genres, delivering an evening of concerts that allows one to listen, marvel, and jump with joy. Anyone who loves folk, rock, hip hop, swing, Balkan music, and much more is in the right place here. The Gewürztraminer play what they feel like and impressively show how music can connect.
The Gewürztraminer have been an integral part of the Vienna music scene for several years. With their innovative songs, which have always been a melting pot of cultures, they have performed at many festivals and concert venues in Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Hungary. Now the band returns with a new album and once again sets new standards. The Viennese background of the Gypsy - Balkan band comes more to the fore, and the lyrics and music create a bridge from extremely danceable to melancholic. The production sounds fresh, cheeky, and modern. One can find an acoustic techno track about global warming alongside the Viennese waltz "Es gheat vü mehr gschmust" with the simple appeal to give more love, regardless of origin, job, or orientation. Of course, humor is also in abundance with the Gewürztraminer. There will be wordplay and puns galore, and the lyrics encourage reflection and a smile. A whole song about the band's joy of the rustic card game Schnapsen, as well as one about a Balkanese who sacrifices everything to buy a Mercedes. The title "Bodn gehn" is understood as an expression of longing and desire for summer freedom and post-corona lockdown traumatization, wrapped in a pop music typical relationship drama. Stylistically, it goes topsy-turvy as always. It opens with the big band dance hammer "Bussi Bussi BB". Followed by a hip hop poser song that gripes in the old rap tradition and is dedicated to the superiority of one's own performance and music, of course, with the classic Gewürztraminer wink. Thus, various themes take turns, creating a versatile album. A definite auditory delight for all Gypsy and Balkan music fans and those who aspire to become one.
