SHUNTA!
shunTA! are one of London's most exciting party bands, with their relentlessly upbeat musical tour of the Balkans. Their slick, high tempo, thumping take on Romani and Eastern European folk tunes, anthems and singalongs creates a maelstrom of jumping, sweaty, whirling bodies on the dancefloor everywhere they go.
shunTA’s non stop Balkan bacchanalia unites people, whether young or old, from all the nations under the sun. Audiences are transported to new and higher places, remembered or imagined, from the backstreet kafanas of old Yugoslavia to the wildest free party in a field under the stars.
shunTA! means “Listen up!” in Romani. The 9 piece mini orchestra includes a horn section (trumpet, clarinet, sax, sousaphone), string section (mandolin, tambura, violin), piano, drums, darbuka, and big, big vocals - bring your singing voice and your dancing shoes!
