Shukar CollectiveThe Shukar Collective was born in Romania out of the meeting of new generation musicians with the gypsy traditions of Shukar founders Napoleon, Tamango and Clasic. Shukar play ursari music (ursar means ‘bear tamer’ or ‘bear handler’) using spoons, wooden barrels or darbuka to create a powerful and urgent sound that is at once emotional and soulful.
Shukar Collective
Urban Gypsy combines Shukar’s original ursari music with the new technology of the collective, resulting in their distinct sound.Consisting of the three founding members of Shukar and six new generation musicians, the Shukar Collective blend traditional ancestral gypsy songs with modern technology. The original Shukar line-up – Napoleon Constantin, Tamango (Radu Vasile) and Clasic Petre – take their inspiration from many years ago, when the Tartars and Mongolians invaded Dacia (Romania’s ancestral name). Shukar’s original sound, called ursari music, was originally developed from men singing, shouting and playing percussive instruments while a bear ‘danced’ around them.
Shukar are not involved with bear taming and are only concerned with the ursari sound experience and modernizing bear taming music.Tamango, the leader of Shukar, infuses the band with folkloric music passed down to him by his forefathers. From Balarii village, Teleorman County in Romania, he is legendary on the local folk music scene and has been playing spoons since he was 16. He contributes vocals and spoons to the musical mix on Urban Gypsy.Napoleon is the main vocalist living in the village of Gratia, Teleorman County, and he also plays wooden barrel percussion by hitting it with his foot and stones.
