Past & Present: Raimund Kroboth

"MACHNATY" (Russian for fuzzy)

"Just like the fuzzy bumblebee that flies to a fragrant flower in a restless flight, a gypsy's daughter, guided by her vagabond soul, hurries after her lover into the night." - and so the Tsaziks, driven by their song lust, hurry after musical "romances without mercy" from Russia, Gerogia, Denmark, Ireland, Texas, and many more.

The exiled Bavarian from Cologne, guitarist and arranger Raimund Kroboth, head of the "tabadoul orchestra" and the former "Schäl Sick Brass Band", wraps them up in spicy arrangements that electrify up to the tips of your hair.

Go! After the nomad star,
towards the sunset;
where the sails flutter
and the eyes look with homeless longing into the deep red sky.
