Fanfara Station is back this Friday June 24 with a brand new album on Garrincha GOGO

The Band’s music is indeed mixing the power of a brass band with the energy of the rhythms
and the chants of Maghreb and electronic music, an overwhelming dance party.

Garrincha GOGO is a Garrincha Dischi’s sub label devoted to world music contamination.

Fanfara Station are Marzouk Mejri, a Tunisian multi-instrumentalist, Charles Ferris, an American Horn player and the Italian DJ/producer Marco Dalmasso aka Ghiaccioli e Branzini. “Boussadia”, the new album, is the first chapter of a path that explores the cultures of each member. Nord Africa is the first chapter, a voyage trough the roots of the singer and percussionist Marzouk. He moved from Tunisia to Naples in the 90’s, where he worked with the most important artist such as Daniele Sepe, James Senese, Eduardo De Crescenzo, 99 Posse, Peppe Barra and many more up to his latest collaboration on Nu Genea’s latest album.

“Boussadia” has been recorded in Tunisia in order to immerse and breath the culture, capture the streets’ vibe and work with local artists such as the rapper VIPA, a full immersion in the cosmopolitan Tunis.

This work is deeply inspired by the Stambeli, the animistic music of the Tunisian slaves. Boussadia is a Tunisian mask, a griot dress with multi color clothes. The result is an album on a fine line in between live and electronic music, enriched by a ritual and transcen- dental feeling that ressembles the band’s live show, his energy and hypnotic rhythms can lift the listeners and take it to a new dimension. Most of the tracks are created recording the band’s live improvisations in order to capture the energy of their concerts.

“Boussadia” is first being released digitally and physical formats will be available worldwide from September 2, 2022 and please note that the band is touring Europe this summer:
