Emigrantski Raggamuffin

Interpreter: Rotfront
Label: Essay Recordings
Location: Germany/Russia

An outcropping of the Berlin RussenDisko phenomenon, RotFront share an equal disdain for spaces in their name and a passion for Russian-stylee knees-upski, mixed with polka, ska, ragga, punk and regaining control of the means of production. And why not? The soundtrack to the revolution in your front room when the party comrades come to call and incidentally polish off the contents of your fridge.
