We are honored beyond saying to have MALABOMBA! familia and frequent performance collaborator Robby Marshall dedicate such an awesome homage to the storied, glorious dancing days of our years past. Thank you for linking the present and the past together this way. We can't wait to hear the full EP. All sentimentality aside, this track is also just a solid banger - check it out! OPA!

New music!! My new single Malabomba! is out now 💙 I invite you to stream, share, and dance to it!

It’s a tribute to the Balkan brass band music that has brought me so much joy, and part of an EP I’ll be releasing in the fall called Mediterranean Sketches.

The name also pays hommage to an incredible LA music series created by Jason Savvy that put folk music back into the dance and party setting. My group Rootsystem first played this tune at Malabomba!

Featuring plus special guest Naghib Shanbehzadeh on percussion and believe it or not, horns from RootSystem recorded in LA!

Anthony Winzenrieth - guitar
Nicolas Grupp - drums
Sylvain Dubrez - bass
Naghib Shanbehzadeh - percussion

and my LA horn family:
Matt Rubin - trumpet
Vikram Devasthali - trombone
Justin Kirk - Trombone
