Dzambo Agusevi Orchestra: Brass Like It Hot

Leader Džambo Agušev grew up in Strumica, North Macedonia, mastering the regional virtuosic trumpet tradition before expanding into global touring. On this vibrant set, his ensemble executes dizzying 7/8 and 9/8 aksak rhythms with surgical accuracy. The brass voicings retain their biting Macedonian tone while incorporating Latin and funk accents, demonstrating how contemporary Romani brass musicians revitalise regional heritage through effortless cross-genre improvisation.
