Max Pashm
Max Pashm first rose to fame in 1997 as one
of the early pioneers of world fusion music, before the Balkan
sound became omnipresent in Global Beats and World Music
circles.
The ‘Max Pashm’ sound is a unique blend of Klezmer, Balkan,
Greek, Gypsy Punk with blistering electronic beats. A daring and
perfect marriage fusing the old traditions with the new and
cutting edge sounds of today and the future.
The ‘Max Pashm Band’ is a collective of some of the finest UK
based Jewish, Greek and Balkan musicians, including the bouzouki
maestro George Kypreos, the imfamous Merlin Shepherd on Klezmer
clarinet, Bulgarian singer Eugenia Georgieva, guitarist Rik
Harrington and of course Max Pashm himself on vocals, percussion
and electronics.
After the release of the new ‘Max Pashm’ album ‘Never Mind the Balkans
The live shows are a high energy experience, combining top
musicianship with pulsing electronics and an underlying sense of
humour and fun! As well as all the traditional influences, the
shows contain flavours of Dub, Ska, Hip-Hop, Rock and Punk,
blending many genres and styles to create a unique sound and
performance, with lyrics in Greek, Bulgarian, Yiddish and
English.
Get to the end of the ‘Max Pashm Band’ show and you might just
agree: ‘Never Mind The Balkans - Here’s Max Pashm’.
