Jordan Shapiro - keyboards, guitar Dave Johnsen - electric bass Phil Kester - drums, percussion with special guests: Eva Salina Primack - vocals Jesse Kotansky - violin Choban Elektrik is a band that performs traditional Balkan folk music on vintage keyboard instruments, played in a psychedelic and improvisational setting. The band brings to the music a fresh and unique approach to Balkan folk music. On the upcoming debut CD, the Hammond Organ and Fender Rhodes keyboard are the most prominent instruments heard, though the Fender Rhodes is often treated with heavy amounts of effects, giving it an electric guitar-like sound. Loops, tape echo, heavy reverb, filters, and modulators all give the recording a sound not usually heard on Balkan folk recordings. 04/26/12
