GKO invites the public to a sensory experience where dance takes over the body and soul in a captivting and liberating way. The orchestra maintains a traditional rhythm by playing acoustic instruments which transport you to a sublime tropical landscape, the extravagance of the Balkan universe, or to the “golden age” of brass bands. The group is part of an international cumberio movement, involving “Kumbia Girovaga, Gigantesque, Globale et Galactique”. GKO is an explosion of music, dance, circus and imagination. While they wait for the opportunity to present their one-of-a-kind show, GKO invites you in the meantime to discover their new album VelkomBak. With massive forced migrations’, floods, storms, pandemics and other events contributing to a general state of urgency, Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra wanted to communicate this urgency through art. The group’s story will finish being told after the current pandemic unfolds and their stage show is able to go live. As the show play out, a storm does indeed hit. Among them, there is a crazy polizonte (an illegal immigrant) who keeps talking about a coming storm.
In the vessel, he encounters people from many backgrounds, each with their own stories and dreams for the future. He embarks on a ship hoping to find what he is looking for. The story begins with a fisherman who is not catching any fish. The result is an upbeat musical invitation to live and dance all together. The idea for the album VelkomBak and the band’s stage show evolved concurrently, constantly complimenting each other throughout the group’s two-year creative process. Indie Montreal’s IMTL Press is pleased to annonce that Gypsy Kumbia Orchestra‘s new album VelkomBak is is now premiering exclusively on Ici Musique before its official release on all platforms May 15th.
