Founded by Polish-Romanian-Russian-Jewish Frenchman Toma Feterman, the group marries traditional Gypsy and Klezmer sounds to contemporary French rock ’n’ roll. For a preview of their set—to be accompanied by Swiss DJ unit Gypsy Sound System—check the YouTube video they recorded last year with a posse of belly dancers at Shibuya’s Hachiko crossing.
