The Shukar Collective was born from 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 darabouka to create a powerful and urgent sound that is emotional and soulful at the same time. Urban Gypsy combines Shukar’s original ursari music with the new technology of the collective, resulting in their distinctive sound.

The inspiration for Shukar’s music comes from many years ago, when the Tatars and Mongolians invaded Dacia (Romania’s ancestral name). Shukar’s vintage original sound is called ursari music (ursar means ‘bear tamer’ or ‘bear handler’) – a few men sing, shout and play percussive instruments while a bear ‘dances’ around them. This practice still goes on in some countries unfortunately, although Shukar gave up this awful custom many years ago and are now only concerned with the sound aspect of the ursari experience. The music is very powerful and ‘aggressive’ but emotional and soulful at the same time. When they perform, Shukar use primitive ‘instruments’ such as spoons, wooden barrels or darabouka.

The Shukar Collective idea came about after Lucian Stan and Dan Handrabur heard some original Shukar tracks and saw them perform in a well-known Bucharest jazz club. The idea behind the project consisted of re-orchestrating these fabulous folkloric pieces with current technologies, while preserving and emphasizing the original aspect.
