Fishtank Ensemble (Live at artMinds Studio!)

Live at artMinds Studio on Saturday October 27th, 7pm. Presented by SLO Folks.

Tickets at venue $15
Tickets at Boo Boo Records $16.50

Romanian and Balkan Folk Music, Flamenco, Gypsy Jazz, Klezmer and Original songs.

The Fishtank Ensemble offers a unique and truly worldly musical experience. From the smokey cafés of Bucharest to the Gypsy caravans of yesterday, this band evokes the spirit of a past age and the sounds of tomorrow. This lively and unusual group consists of talented musicians mastering their respective instruments: violin, saw, accordion, shamisen, flamenco guitar, contrabass, percussion and voice. Romanian folk music forms the bulk of the material with a healthy helping of flamenco, Swedish folk music, Klezmer, Gypsy jazz, other folk sources as well as original songs.

“Fishtank Ensemble are the rompin', stompin' leaders of
cross-pollinated Gypsy music.” – LA Weekly

“They are Incredible!” – Gypsy Flores of KUSP

"...Their repertoire flows naturally from flamenco to klezmer to Romanian and
Hungarian folk and beyond. There's no catch here and nothing conceptual at
work. It's just great music played by great musicians..." – Will York, SF Bay Gardian

“Fishtank Ensemble is why we keep doing our Show”
– Mike Perazzetti, host of RadioMike's New Show

"Joyous, knowledgeable, definitely athletic indulgences in the melding of the best of several cultures."
– Mark S. Tucker for Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
