Polka
Brave Combo
Roll on Rocktober, let the polka party begin when Brave Combo stops by The Cedar. If you've never experienced the exuberance, the exhilaration, and the excitement, let nothing stand in your way. As for the rest of you, we'll see you back here! The band has been busy as ever, and have out a new album Kikiriki, with inspirations that span from Bee Gees to Beethoven!
“Describing Brave Combo to the uninitiated is like trying to explain cheese to someone who's never tasted it: You know they're gonna love it, if you could just convince 'em to try it. ….. Any human with a pulse will love this band. Yet it's hard to explain their music honestly without mentioning the P-word. Despite the fact that they rock to a rainbow of rhythms--bolero, bossa nova, bubblegum, cha cha, charanga, conjunto, cumbia, dirge, foxtrot, guaguanco, hora, huapango, mambo, merengue, Muzak, oberek, ondo, ranchera, rhumba, rock, salsa, samba, schottische, ska, stroll, tango, twist, two-step, waltz, and zydeco--they've always described themselves as a "nuclear polka" band. “
