Stefan Straubinger with SpuimaNovas – Tanzboden Grooves 2016 (Galileo GMV067, 2016)
Multi-instrumentalist and composer Stefan Straubinger supported by the SpuimaNovas group, a collective of musicians led by Eva and Stefan Straubinger. Their new album, Tanzboden Grooves 2016, is a quirky mix of traditional Bavarian music, tango, polka, samba, landler music, Breton folk music, cha cha cha, and much more.
The musical instruments used include familiar elements like saxophone, violin, trumpet, drums and bass, along with unexpected instruments such as bagpipes and hurdy gurdy. The overall result is a selection of folk-rooted pieces and dance or party songs.
The album lineup includes Stefan Straubinger on hurdy gurdy, bandoneon and vocals; Eva Straubinger on dudelsack (bagpipe), recorder, clarinet and vocals; Dominik Straubinger on violin; Fridolin Straubinger on trombone; Markus Heinze on cornet, baritone and alto saxophone; Philip Unterreiner on E-Guitar and vocals; Max Flossmann on acoustic bass; Leonie Sobek on drums; and Ludwig Himpsl on percussion.
