 Rating: - Nu Med gets your blood pumping....pumping around your legs and feet that is. Like their first album this is a must have for anyone with an interest in funky Balkan Gypsy music fused with Klezmer, HipHop, Dub, Tango, ... In a similar entertaining vein of balkan frenzy I would also recommend Remixed by De Amsterdam Klezmer Band and from Shantel: Disko Partizani, Bucovina Club Vol 1 and Vol 2. Rating: - Thrilling!This album tickles every one of my musical tastebuds... Having found it by 'surfing' around Amazon and listening to soundbytes from all and sundry I am delighted. Humourous, skilled, original and inspiring. Rating: - Bright, breezy, and Balkan.Want to know why Balkan music is sweeping the world's dancefloors at the moment? Just have a blast of Nu-Med and all will be revealed. BB seem to be following in the great seventies Two Tone tradition of united races...Israelis, Moroccans, Bulgarians, arabs, jews all kinds of influences clashing gloriously together in a massive rocking party: make music, have a ball and break down divides. There is a refreshing lack of pretension to this sound, an invigorating blend of virtuoso musicianship, bizarre time signatures, an anarchic collision of east/west/old/new instrumentation, and above all, driving grooves. I personally love the mix of old and new. Snake charmer's pipes over beatbox rhythms, accordian, oompah tuba, surf guitar, ...

East European fusion music is moderately hot right now, with bands like Beirut and Gogol Bordello on the rise. But one of the best ones is Balkan Beat Box, whose second album "Nu Med" further polishes their ethnic hip-hop/rock sound -- it's just a thoroughly colourful, flavourful album. It opens with a deliciously funky "Keep it Straight," which sounds like an Arabian market being invaded by hip-hop gypsy brass bands. It's followed by the deliciously colourful rap song "Hermetico," riddled with brass blats, handclaps, horses, and a voice telling us, "We're comin' straight through ...

This is a band who know who they are and where they're going (far, I suspect). The blend of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Eastern European influences held together with a strong dance beat, mesmerising horns and surf-style guitar is hypnotic and very, very danceable. At once, an invitation to a joyous party and a call to transcend our cultural and national borders; Nu Med is music that reminds us we can all live (and dance) together peacefully. There's not a weak track on the whole album, current favourites though are: Hermetico, ... Read More: |
