Kalabrese & Rumpelorchester

Kalabrese, who has become one of the most sparkling characters of the Zurich music scene through his unique style and compositions, will be at Babylon with his band Rumpelorchester on 10th of May, Friday! Kalabrese debut album “Rumpelzirkus” is a great piece of music. It rumbles and works the funk organically and song oriented and recevied good reviews in the independent dance-scene all around the world in 1997. The 2nd album "Independent Dancer" came out in May 2013 more and more you can hear the signature of Kalabrese sound and his unique songwriting with vocals of himself and guest singers (Khan from Berlin, Sarah Palin from Zurich). “Independent Dancer” is a journey into different world, very lightfull and positiv and allways funky. Radio stations like KCRW in the America or Sonica Ibiza played regulary times songs of the Independent Dancer album. Spotify playlists with plays over 10 millions and over 250k-regular members helped also to spread Kalabrese’s non-perfect dance groove in the last year all over the planet. In the middle of the pandemic, Kalabrese finds his way back to ease, regaining the Rumpelfunk and finalized two new albums. “Let Love Rumpel Part 1” and “Let Love Rumpel Part 2”. It is a marvelously light, warm dance. the music goes to the hip and to the heart and automatically we start to dance. From the very first bars it’s clear, that Kalabrese developed his very own signature sound which feels like coming home and diving into the rumpel universe again. Not to be missed, there is underton of sadness; delightfully melancholic. Kalabrese and his Rumpelorchestra is a great stage experience for clubs and festival. Over the years the band perfomed regulary and built a base for their extendend hypnotic live-sound. The fantastic players with bass, synths, horns and the funky live-drums of Kalabrese himself and his punky-moody-voice on top find a deeper connection to the audience. The band can go for a long improvisation and bring it jazzy, funky and let the rumpel-tribe celebrated. Kalabrese played with his band 2022 for garbicz festival for an enthusiastic international crowd. The summer ended with rockin the sunset fort the letten-river fest in zurich with over 1000 people and performing the complet crowded kirchplatz-stage for the winterthurer musikfestwochen. Kalabrese is currently resident at Papaya Playa in Mexico and Yuyu Club in CDMX.
