简介

An EP of remixes offered by Mama Diaspora and Derbastler of a number one world music act in Germany, originating from Berlin. Rotfront features the Ukrainian DJ Yuriy Gurzhy and the Hungarian musician Simon Wahorn performing a mix of Soviet easy listening, Hungarian rock’n’roll, Gipsy music, reggae, ska, klezmer and hip-hop. In 7 years of existence the Emigrantski Raggamuffin Kollektiv have created a phenomenal appearance in the scene. Rolling back boundaries is RotFront’s mission – and in that sense they are a political band. They may not talk the talk, but they certainly walk the walk: instead of singing about politics, they actually live the easy-going, harmonious interaction of nationalities, ethnicities, musical genres and cultures. And it works. A Ukrainian, two Hungarians, an Australian and five Germans mix Ska, Reggae, Dancehall and Cumbia sounds with Klezmer, Berlin’s own in-your-face brand of Hiphop, Eastern European Turbopolka, Mediterranean melodies and rock riffs. Guitarists and vocalists Yuriy Gurzhy and Simon Wahorn were joined by bombastic brass/woodwind trio Max Bakshish (clarinet and saxophone), Dan Freeman (saxophone) and Anke Luchs (trombone) with drummer Jan Pfennig (a legend in the Berlin Drum'n'Bass-scene, with a band called Human Sampler), fabulous female vocalist Dorka Gryllus (a Hungarian actress who has appeared in Sam Garbarsky’s “Irina Palm”, Wolfgang Murnberger’s “Der Knochenmann” and Fatih Akin’s latest film “Soul Kitchen”), and while he is the youngest band member, Mad Milian, is a name to watch out for in the Berlin HipHop scene. The first album „Emigrantski Raggamuffin“, (supported by Initiative Musik) pitchforked the band high as a skyscraper: From fully packed Kaffee Burger (Berlin) the musicians stepped on international festival stages. RotFront was seen as headliner on Fusion (DE), Sziget (HU), Path Of Peace (IT), Konzerthaus Wien (AU) Arriano Folk Festival (IT), Winterthurer Musik Festwochen (CH) and Helsinki Flow Festival (FIN). In July 2010 the band was awarded with the German Worldmusic Award RUTH: „RotFront convince not only in representing their own story, they act as catalyst for many sounds of immigration.“ „Rotfront provides a soundtrack for a globalisation party, which is currently being held not only in the german capital“ taz The sound of RotFront is no longer just world music, it’s an a urban sound of the new world. „Our music“, says Gurzhy, „is be a model of a ideal modern society: someday nationalities will be irrelevant“,
