Event description

Super Rats play classic ‘lautari’ music from the backstreets of Bucharest. Featuring the 145-string cimbalom, with violin, accordion and bass.
From diverse and colourful strands – Ottoman court music, raw Balkan peasant folk, the legendary inventiveness of Roma (gypsy) musicians, a handful of tango and jazz – Super Rats weave a magic carpet to whisk you away to distant times and places, in a show full of panache, humour and dedication to the beauty in these charmingly crooked melodies.

Band leader and Australia’s ‘chief cimbalom nerd’ Tim Meyen studied with master traditional musicians in Romania for over a decade before assembling a hand-picked crew of rolled-gold Australian musicians to form Super Rats. Together they careen through authentic muzică lăutarească in their own consummate style, sure to please curious ears.
