Gato Loco & Stefan Zeniuk - The Enchanted Messa (2013)

The New York street band "Gato Loco" strikes up for Giuseppe Verdi. Without false shame and incredible easiness and verve Verdi's Requiem is enchanted by the 'crazy cat'. Not a trace of the Day of Wrath, Gato Loco celebrates the 'Dies Irae' with fiery brass sections, brilliant arrangements, Caribbean rhythms and re-names the piece 'Die, You Sucka!'. Thrilling sounds, ideally suited to honour a beloved dead at his funeral in New Orleans or Havanna with stirring grooves. »The Enchanted Messa« unleashes a party; where this brass band appears, people dance: Pure fun. Leader Stefan Zeniuk surprises with an ingenious new version of the Requiem in Verdi's bicentenary year. Long live Verdi!
