The BootyJive

In 1977, the space capsule “Voyager” was launched into space. Its mission: to explore far away solar systems. It also carried a valuable piece of cargo – the music from planet Earth captured on a “Golden Record”. Nobody would have expected that in the year 2013, inhabitants of a yet unknown solar system would retrieve the very Golden Record.

Now a courageous crew from planet Bayou7 has travelled to Earth in their spaceship “The BootyJive”. Their mission: to bring traditional music from Bayou7 to the Earth. The music, however, is surprisingly similar to the hottest Jazz’n’roll and most ruthless funk music found on planet Earth…

Earthlings, prepare for a truly galactic adventure!

Bewitcher on the accordeon … Music to lose oneself in without getting lost … always a kind of smiling melancholy … a world travel … poetic intensity … temperament and soul in the performance … a compliment from a musician to her instrument …
