About
A founder band of the Cape Town's popular Balkanology parties, this band is inspired by the music of the wacky movies "Black Cat White Cat,"" Time of the Gypsies" and "Buba Mara". Throw in some Yiddish Klezmer and Gypsy pieces and we produce a party of a life time. The instruments include tuba, sax, accordion, drums, jazz guitar and vocalist Caely-Jo Levy.
