On the Playlist 28MAR2019…

I foreshadowed this band in yesterday's post. Today I am listening to a band called Brothers Moving and their self-titled album "Brothers Moving". This street band of three brothers and one other musician from Denmark was formed in NY. They have an enigmatic style that combines folk, funk, rock, reggae and rock and roll along with street tuned smarts. They have maintained their independence as street musicians although they do play gigs and have two independently release albums. They are members of MUNY which is an artist group run by the NY MTA to give high profile to their members at key locations in the NY transportation system. Another interesting thing about this band that is honed by their street musician creed is the use of the Cajon which is a Peruvian box drum for their percussion instead of using a drum kit which would be difficult in a street location. I am enjoying their original music even more than the video of their cover of Roxanne I watched the other day and which got me interested in them. I also have their second album Autonomy cued up to play next.
