“unbuttoned passion and brilliance”
The Strad

ZUM first stormed the UK in 2001 with its stunning fusion combining the fire and brilliance of Eastern European gypsy fiddle music with the hot-blooded passion of Argentinian Tango. The band has since had three more sell-out tours, as well as three sell-out shows at the South Bank in London and for many major festivals in the UK including Henley, Bury St. Edmunds, Nailsworth, Ryedale, Swaledale, Easwood, Tiverton, Guildford, Cambridge and Salisbury.

ZUM performs 'Nuevo Tango' masterpieces by Astor Piazzolla and music from the golden era of tango, alongside addictive traditional gypsy melodies and dazzling virtuoso fiddling. The band add their own compelling original material, inspired by both gypsy and tango, lightly spiced with a host of influences from klezmer to bebop.
