Audiences can expect an exuberant and rampant brand of world music is an exhilarating cocktail of Balkan melodies, ska and latin grooves and sizzling brass played with furious energy and theatrical humour, making them as unforgettable on stage as they are when performing as wandering brass troubadours.

 

 

The Guardian’s Robin Denselow said of the band: “The Baghdaddies’ rousing brass work was carefully fused with ska, jazz and Indian influences, and made the case that they deserve a far bigger following.”

Songlines Magazine describe the band as having ‘a particular flair for the Balkans and capture its frenetic energy and flamboyance wonderfully. There is also a fair share of klezmer, jazz, and punk – an anarchic fusion where Ivo Papasov meets The Clash meets The Beat’.
