about

Second album of the "Caribbean Trash Orchestra". 16 pieces of great beauty. The traditional (Sautanz! Yambalaya!), the outrageous (the corrugated iron mambo), the summery (True Hill) and the danceable (Tango 321) is combined by the wild 11 in their inimitable way into a good-humoured review of 100 years of popular music.

While listening to the music of the Hermanos, some of you might ask yourself what the hell this 11-piece band is actually doing. It rattles and creaks, drags and runs and sprays with vitality in an inimitable way. The constant struggle with the material, in which only bores always remain victorious.

Mediterranean tunes, Caribbean sound, Lower Bavarian gstanzl (so-called Schmalzler), desert pop, minimal music (with a large orchestra), country, swing, tango and then off into the jungle, baby! Just to name a few stops. Correctly summarised, this is simply folk music. However, it is not with scientific meticulousness in dusty archives that the roots of popular music are researched here. The flotsam that strands in record boxes at flea markets and slowly rots away provides the musical gene pool from which the hermanos draw. Disrespectful? No. With a lot of love.

Although the hermanos are probably more preservers than innovators, neither their preferences nor their methods can be dismissed as conservative. While the boss, Senor G.Rag, works on a precious old jazz guitar, Mr. Zelig rattles the rhythm (which, by the way, would make any breakbeat programmer's ears prick up) on various bins and other junk. In general, the scrap yard has a similar share in the instrumentation as the music shop or the toy department of Obletter. Musique concréte. Again such a find.

In short: a very strange band practices musical obstinacy here as if it were the most normal thing in the world. The Hermanos are not primarily concerned with musical perfection, here dilettantism is coquettishly ensnared. And although the Hermanos are no strangers to the blues, their concerts are all about one thing above all: spending a relaxed evening with the audience. And if some listeners think to themselves "You don't hear that every day", then they are probably right. Something like that connects.

Radio Tijuana was the name of the Hermanos' very raw debut. The successor, O321H (pronounced "oh-dreieinazwanzg-ha"), comes with new tonal shades and a significantly increased musical capacity. By the way, the title refers to the type designation of the blue-and-white '62 Mercedes-Benz coach by which G.Rag y los Hermanos Patchekos preferably travel.
