    The group evokes smoky Bucharest cafes and caravan-ringed campfires with its lively blend, including Balkan and Swedish folk, flamenco and Gypsy jazz. These gifted “misfit” musicians whose affinity for gypsy music brought them together first to jam at an Oakland performance space called The Fishtank, then for a single concert, now record and tour extensively. French Fiddler Fabrice Martinez, who spent years collecting and playing folk music while traveling Europe in a mule-drawn caravan, was the group’s catalyst. But each member, playing on instruments as diverse as the saw, Japanese shamisen and slap bass, adds something special.
