BUCO (Italian Folk Core) – Live

In the organizer's words:

Let's start with what we know for sure: Buco are Heiner Roos on bass, Jens Rumberg on drums, Daniel Kluge on guitar and microphone and Marco Böhlandt on guitar, trumpet and accordion.

Apart from that, however, general knowledge about this still fairly new Munich band is rather patchy. And that's as it should be.

Because "Buco" is firstly Italian, secondly means "hole", but thirdly also "gap" - the translation that the quartet prefers for obvious reasons. It's obvious, because Buco are all about things that have gaps, things like collective memory.

That's why Buco knit scraps of fabric together, tying loose red threads back into solid narrative strands: Fairy tales, sagas and legends from the southern coasts of Italy that have never made it between book covers and are only remembered in scraps are fantasized by the band into new, old stories. And they add a suitably - excuse me - "groovy" soundtrack, with fragments that sometimes sound like Calexico, sometimes like Beirut, sometimes like Pixies, and get away with it - and around.

After concerts in some of Munich's finest venues, such as Feierwerk, Alte Utting and Muffatwerk, and alongside such fine combos as GRag, Leonie singt and The Moonband, the musical buccaneers are today heading for Kap37, one of the most beautiful inland ports in the Bavarian capital - before going back on maternity leave to finally lay down some vinyl with their first long-player for Intertune Records.

Admission is, of course, free!
