Go Marko Go! Brass Madness, the first Boban i Marko Markovic Orkester album with Marko given free rein in the studio, an opportunity he has seized with gusto. From the irresistible invitation of the opening Romanian dance through to the closing Russian romp through the Bubamara medley, it’s all systems go-go. Whether sipping cocktails in a Belgrade lounge bar, dazzling us with their dexterity inna big-band jazz stylee, soothing us with a soulful ballad or getting down on the funky disco dance-floor, the Orkestar are at home wherever they are. They’re still the best and most innovative Balkan brass band around and, with Marko at the wheel, they’re driving off in new directions, transporting the traditions to the world and bringing the world back home. Like father, like son.

A tiny Eastern Romanian village, called 'Zece Prajini, having less than two hundred Gypsy inhabitants, where any male can play at least one brass instrument and having probably the largest number of bands in Europe -- this is the place where the Fanfare Savale gypsy brass band comes from. It would be difficult to follow back in time their vast musical heritage as they have been playing music ever since they can remember and the gift of music and the instruments are passed from one generation to the other. From three years old kids to seventy years old grandpas, each person is a skilled and fully trained musician here. These Romanian Gypsies earn their living by working their lands and playing music at various feast, weddings and funeral services. Usually they gather and play music only to cheer themselves up. On the other opportunities, e.g. on the so called 'Green Gypsy Thursday' hundred of brass players come together from different villages, to demonstrate their skills, compete and party 'in private', without entertaining any audience. These traditions have been preserved for centuries and the Fanfare Savale are playing something peculiar in this Romanian region: Gypsy music that combines the traditions of ancient Gypsy music at a breathtaking speed - up to 200 beats per minute - with those of the Balkan area, producing wonderfully rhythmic tunes played. These ten musicians know extremely well the various music styles and although, most of them are barely able to play music by notes, can play any tune after hearing it only once."
