Balkan Brass Battle @ Koko, London

Excerpt from Asphalt Tango website:

"Prepare yourself: here comes the heavy, heavy monster sound! From the wild, wild East - Romania & Serbia - the two foremost Gypsy brass bands are taking the stage to see who blows hottest and hardest. There's gonna be a showdown!

For the first time ever Fanfare Ciocarlia and the Boban & Marko Markovic Orchestra are taking the stage together. Neither act is willing to play support. So both bands will be on stage at the same time, getting their game on and going toe-to-toe. A sound clash? More like a battle royal! The Gypsies are ready to get in the ring! Following in the great tradition of brass battles from the Balkans to New Orleans, this scrap will determine who is King!"

Great concert ! It was neck and neck but I would give #1 to the Romanians.
