Choban Elektrik

Hear this show now: Pop-up player! | Add or read comments

Vintage-keyboard-driven Balkan-inspired instrumental power trio Choban Elektrik hits the Studio B radio stage playing tunes from its new self-titled debut cd and lots more.

The combo, whose name means "the Electric Shepherds", hopes the positive vibes of our magical studio will grant them the good luck they'll need for their next club gig - Friday the 13th at Freddy's in Brooklyn's South Slope.

Listener comments!

6:07pm ratbone:

is zappa-esque, no?

6:09pm Carmichael:

Hiya Rob. Rare Sat night tune in for me.

6:13pm Your DJ:

Greetings Carmichael, Ratbone and all in the Peanut Gallery this evening...

6:13pm Bas, NL:

Hello Rob!

6:15pm Your DJ:

Greetings Bas!

6:20pm Tony:

Hi Rob/listeners. Does anyone know anything about the Les Escales festival in St. Nazaire, France, on August 3rd and 4th? I am going to be in the area then and was wondering if it would be worth checking out? I know The Ex/Getachew Merkuria played there a few years ago, but I don't really recognize most of the artists in this year's lineup. http://www.les-escales.com/

6:25pm Your DJ:

Tony, there's definitely good stuff, certainly Poly-Rythmo is a favorite (they will be in NY / North America this summer too) but others too. Email me (robw AT wfmu DOT org) and I can give you an appraisal of the lineup. But if I was there, I would go - !

6:28pm Mark in DC:

Thanks for Cankisou, never heard them. I've played this three times in a row, astounding.

6:31pm Your DJ:

Thanks Mark. Yes, very interesting group (but haven't toured or gotten much play in North America as far as I know. They're part of the Indies label posse from Czech Republic which is quite varied - rock, world, folk, other stuff too. Their page over there is indies.eu...

6:33pm Tony:

Thanks a lot Rob. Yeah, Poly-Rythmo were the group that sounded the most interesting to me. Glad to hear you approve!

7:12pm the glowing one:

instant goosebumps off Steve's Gaida

7:17pm the glowing one:

reminded me in parts of Terry Riley (beginning) and Centipede (the slow mid section)

7:18pm Your DJ:

Thanks tgo, I'm sure the band will appreciate your comments!

7:52pm Bas, NL:

He, he.. and meanwhile i'm sitting here fixing a vintage keyboard: How better then with those great sound by Choban Elektrik! Great tunes!

7:57pm Your DJ:

A curious coincidence indeed Bas. Glad you enjoyed Choban Elektrik!

8:21pm Fittipaldi:

A Wurlitzer? Oberheim?

8:22pm Your DJ:

Fender before (Jordan Shapiro, the keyboardist for Choban Elektrik also plays a Hammond), musical bow now...

8:58pm Bas, NL:

Thanks for the excellent three hours again Rob!
