If Macedonian tuba music can’t get you off the couch and onto the dance floor on a Friday night, it might be time to admit that you have no soul.

Raya Brass Band will draw on many musical traditions during tonight’s show at Black Market Moto Saloon. Listeners can pick up on Greek, Serbian, Bulgarian and Romany influences — as well as healthy hints of the rock, punk, jazz and New Orleans brass backgrounds that band members bring to the party.

Accordion player Matthew Fass said that the band plays adaptations of traditional tunes from diverse Balkan cultures and writes original works in the same spirit.

But if you didn’t grow up with the music, don’t let that stop you from caught up in its infectious grooves at first hearing. That’s how the band members themselves got hooked.

“I got interested back in the early 1990s,” Fass said. When he first heard Romany music on the soundtrack of “In the Time of the Gypsies,” which he watched with a friend, “I just fell in love with a style I’d never heard before and decided to take up the accordion at age 30.”

Before he knew it, Fass was ready to say goodbye to his day job and become a full-time musician.

“I still am following my passion,” he said. “There is a lot to learn. There are always new genres and new ways to play things.”

Reeds player Greg Squared, tuba player Don Godwin, trumpet player Ben Syversen, percussionist EJ Fry and Fass stay busy performing at music festivals, weddings, open-air parties and other celebrations.

So what kind of reactions does the Brooklyn-based Balkan band get when there are actual Romany people in the audience?

“They love it,” Fass said. “In a way, they just cannot believe it that Americans could be interested in this music.”

To get a feel for Raya’s music before the show, listen to “Dancing on Roses, Dancing on Cinders,” the band’s January release.

If you can’t sit still, you don’t need to. In keeping with the music’s cultural heritage, dancing is encouraged. At its heart, the genre is deeply social, its tunes written to lift people out of the ordinary grind for a little while to share a skipped beat or two and celebrate what they have in common.

“We’re essentially a dance band. We usually come out swinging with tunes that you can’t help wanting to dance to,” Fass said. “We mind if they don’t get up and dance.

“We prefer to play in and among the people instead of on a stage. We want to break down the wall between performer and audience. We often will play on the dance floor.

“It’s a very immediate, up-front good time.”

The band keeps building repertoire as it hears new music. The songs aren’t artifacts, and the musicians aren’t living history interpreters. And wherever they go, scattered among the new fans, the musicians keep finding pockets of émigré fans who are delighted to hear a sound of home.

“It is a living art form in Eastern Europe,” Fass said. “And there is actually quite a diaspora of people from Eastern Europe all over the United States.”
