Interviu Kottarashky | Cu Picioarele Goale în vie Pe 3 august, Kottarashky va susține un concert în mijlocul viei, pentru un nou eveniment din seria Cu Picioarele Goale.

The 12 Romanian musicians from the mountains beyond have written a new song that will most likely become a future anthem of Balkan brass music: Me Sem Rom - I'm a man. The brass instruments glow under the pressure of the melody, singer Canaf guides his voice, spiced with local brandy and pure joy safely through the stormy grooves. And because the translation of ‘Me Sem Rom’ into English fits so well, the brotherhood of brass has also worked on a cover version of the 1967 classic by the Spencer Davis Group and leads the song "I'm a man" into a wild Balkan ska delirium. "Me Sem Rom / I'm a Man" to be released 6 September 2024 as a limited 7'' vinyl single (45 rpm) and as digital download.
Pre-order the 7" Vinyl at the SPECIAL PRICE of 12 euros or as digital download for 7,50 euros (25% discount) until 5 September 2024 - after that, the official retail price will be 16 euros (Vinyl) and 10 euros (download). Shipping of your pre-order starts 1st of September 2024. Use link in the first comment to order your personal copy.
