Shukar Collective

Shukar Collective

Shukar Collective (from the Romany word "Shukar" or "Şucar", meaning "fine") is a Romanian musical group which fuses traditional Romany and electronic music. It is especially known for using traditional rhythms employed by the "Ursari" section of the Roma minority with contemporary electronic sampling. They generally mix various sounds produced by tapping spoons or other domestic objects with those produced on analog synthesizers.

The idea of Shukar Collective came after two important Romanian DJs, Dj Vasile and Dan Handrabur (alias Dreamdoktor) listened to the music of Shukar Group - Tamango, Clasic and Napoleon. The composition of either 'electronic' or 'ursari' part of the group changed in time.Recently, they have been collaborating with Romanian multimedia artist Mircea Florian.
