No genre is safe from this band! Dub-infused rhythms and knees-up ska collide courageously with eastern melodies, world instruments and infectious vocal hooks to form an alluring and energetic sound.
The Cabarats are constantly sourcing inspiration from all over the world, but have a particular passion for Reggae and Ska, as well as traditional music from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The sound is embellished with electronic samples and a uniquely psychedelic texture which segues dynamically from one style to another, often succumbing to climactic moments of heavy rock.
The ever-growing list of instruments played by these five individuals includes, accordion, outar (a custom built fretless oud-guitar hybrid), keyboards, brass, guitars, drums, pedals, synths, sirens, samplers and more!
It’s been an exciting journey so far for the band, playing at major festivals such as Boomtown Fair, and supporting some of their favourite acts including Undercover Hippy and Dubioza Kolektiv.

I rarely listen to more than a snippet of these to be honest, but the Cabarats buck that. Polished, catchy and clearly enjoying every moment.

The Cabarats - absolutely brilliant, especially the virtuoso accordion player! Certainly had my foot tapping and wished it could have gone on longer! Will be back later for some more 🎶 🪗

Have you seen my parents as well? After shouting at me to get out they told me the following morning my dad had been trying out his new wrestling moves.

Took several attempts to get the video to play today but worth it when it eventually did. The 2 voices compliment each other so well and the background musicians are extremely talented. Loved it.

Good to see you back again. Would love to see your previous entry "From The Bottom To The Top" (I think) again, you sister was terrific (is that your sister in this video?).

The correct title was "You're the Top - Anything Goes - Cole Porter". Absolutely supurb, talk about 2 people enjoying what they're doing. Hope he does repeat it.

I have always been a die-hard David Bowie fan (I’m 58f) and I have always said that no one can cover a Bowie song as well as he sang it. But I stand corrected… this is exquisite, you did Bowie proud!

Thanks, FlamingWingGold, appreciate the comment! It's a version that Bowie played later in his career and did it on Later with Jools Holland.
