Art Lande's Funko Moderno - Jufnitz

Matt Flaherty (guitar), Andrew Moorhead (piano)

Bebop, bossa nova, fusion and punk rock were musical styles that exploded into the consciousness of players and listeners in the past. Now we have Funko Moderno, a wildly new musical expression that comes out of the fictitious city/state inside of Italy called Italavia. Settled by a family of Yugoslavian immigrants (the Bringe family) during times imperceptible, Italavia has musical tradition that is always only nine days old. Now that's modern!

The only country smaller than the postage stamp that commemorates it, Italavia has a music that includes odd, infectious, funky rhythms, jazzy or dorky melodies and an orderly chaos that signifies the folk passions of a young, unrecognized nation. All pieces are named for Bringe family members, like Jufnitz, Gwylbutzd, Sklar and Chipe, who have decided to spread this music beyond the cramped, spacious borders of Italavia.

Be the first on you block to be in the know about Funko Moderno. Fresh music of our time, that is never more than nine days old! Take a mind-bending journey on the Italavia Express.
