GYPSY FEVER COMPILATION ON PLEDGE ME

https://www.pledgeme.co.nz/Crowd/Details/496

Starting with a legendary warehouse party in Auckland in 2007 featuring The Benka Boradovsky Bordello Band and DJ Balkanetic, Gypsy Fever has grown into a national phenomenon with many packed out events in Auckland and Wellington, four national tours and appearances at several major festivals including Splore, Parihaka , The Festival of Lights and Prana.

The shows have been wildly embraced by audiences all over the country with the infectious and uplifting East European melodies and rhythms appealing to all demographics and tastes. For this is intoxicating, joyous, sometimes intense social music that grabs a hold of you and has you twirling madly around with the nearest friend or stranger or attempting to dance like a Cossack. In the words of The Jews Brothers, "If you can't dance to this, you gotta problem!".

Gypsy Fever is the first ever compilation of its type celebrating East European music from New Zealand and Australia and the album features 12 different bands including well-loved acts such as Niko Ne Zna, The Jews Brothers, Monsieur Camembert, The Barons of Tang and The Mamaku Project plus relative newcomers on the scene such as Bella Cajon, The Margaret St Project and Black Spider Stomp. Most of the tracks will be newly recorded or recently released plus there'll be a couple of old classics. Lovingly selected by DJ Balkanetic, this could be the soundtrack to your very own Gypsy Fever party at home.

By supporting the project on crowdfunding site Pledge Me from as little as $5, you help guarantee that the project will get off the ground and also receive great rewards such as downloads, CDs and tickets to the Gypsy Fever shows in Auckland, Wellington, Nelson and Leigh:
