Paragraph Blurbs
Footstomping fusions of Balkan, Latin and Dub goodness. Sigh to haunting Romani violin melodies, and whoop to the tropically inspired grooves. The NZ-based band get people dancing from the salty shores of Bluff to the misty mountain tops of Takaka, and plenty of house parties in between.
--
Step closer and embrace the Romani Roots sound of Yurt Party. Romani Roots means fast, means fun, means crazy 21st Century mashups of Balkan folk, reggae and house!
Bio
Yurt Party are a one-of-a-kind musical feast, creating collective joy for over 5 years across Aotearoa. The 6+ piece Ōtautahi band have been performing around NZ, electrifying festival dance floors and winning over the hearts of their audiences with footstomping fusions of Balkan, Latin and Dub goodness.
Festivals include CubaDupa, Nostalgia, Luminate, Relish, Kiwi Spirit Festival and more. Propelled by sold out shows, the band intend to spread their music far and wide with upcoming album releases and festivals as long as their legs can carry them.
