“Soulful grooves from RussenDisko, Berlin.” Music from (mostly) the large and culturally-busy ex-pat Russian community in Germany. Mostly acoustic, unexpected, & strangely appealing. It’s not particularly soulful, groovy, or disco, but it’s damned fun nonetheless. There’s a thread of artistic darkness running throughout that makes it fascinating to listen to. 1. Acoustic guitar, 2-guys singing. Like low-key, Russian reggae. *2. Accordion/vox. Midtempo, folksy. *3. Dark, raspy, and hip midtempo accordion/vox/strings. 4. Warm, rich female voice. Midtempo, picks up energy. *5. Fun, bouncy pop-y. Oddly happy. Odd voice too. *6. Wacky fast folk music w/a drunk in the Balkans feel. *7. Russian cha-cha with a darkly retro feel. Cool! 8. Brass, raw male vox. Slow, dark, lots of emotion. 9. Klezmer brass & vocal. Mid/uptempo w/good energy. *10. Swinging Django-esque jam w/odd vocals. Fun 11. Relaxed Latin dance w/horns/vox/and convincing tropical feel. 12. Fem vocals in relaxed, sad love song. Nice strings. 13. Contemporary folk. Voices/accordion/brass. Slowish, dark. 14. Vocals/brass/strings, Mid/uptempo & catchy. 15. Loud, brassy, Russian rock. *16. Mostly midtempo folk w/a touch of jazz & a shot of vodka. | ||
