KATZEN KAPELL
Si Tu Veux
Ragadang RR 001 (2007)

Line-up changed since their 1994 debut but still led by accordionist and singer Catharina Backman, with violin, vibraphone, piano and more, KK is a very class Swedish act making original, jazzish music drawing on tango with touches of Indian scales and hints of Parisian or Berlin cabaret, like music for a passionate European film noir. www.ragadangrecords.com
