Transylvania, at the crossroads between Romania, Hungary and Serbia, is not mentioned in history books as the home of swing with the waistcoat and bowler hat.
The cold, poverty and other historical events of a certain weight, do not marry crabs with soul so openly West, glossy paper, the swingers of all ages.
This was what we thought, at least until the stage of Nico de Transilvania.
native of Cluj, drawn from gypsy spirit and a DJ, this girl enters the ranks of those who have the gift of independence: it is not news every day and feel of an artist who takes the Romanian balkan (with the mustache ") of Roma, the compound to the brand new remix of the swing and fly to England to ignite audiences accustomed to the best electronics.
Constantly on tour in the UK in Brighton, his adopted city, and Eastern Europe who lives in his own sounds, Nico does not like too much publicity. Very few reports about his biography, with the exception of profiles on Facebook and Twitter, and dozens of photos scattered on the Net, you only know her music. The production staff is
thin, as you might expect from the artists "through" like her. The remix of all these different traditions in themselves sufficient to constitute a work full of meaning, by bridging the history, styles and habits of most people in places far apart.
Maybe someone will accuse of not inventing anything new, but certainly excite half of Europe's Balkan-Swing is an art in which very few can write their secrets.
