Anyone who thinks sousaphone, trumpet and trombone fit so well with rap together like a ukulele to Rammstein, who has well wrong because he has not yet heard the relatively new hip hop Brass Band Moop Mama from Munich. This is a 11-member !! Music group, which was founded in 2009 by tenor saxophonist Marcus Kesselbauer. Moop Mama connect funky brass band music with German rap and how well that fits, they point to their already appeared in summer 2011 debut album Your mother. Stylistically, you can count on the new Volxmusik Moop Mama as well LaBrassBanda, Django 3000 or HMBC, ie music that mixes both traditional Baiuvarii elements with many new, often unusual influences. In Moop Mama is just razor sharp, crisp rap of Keno Langbein with the intoxicating groove of trumpets, trombones, saxophones, a sousaphone and a snare drum and a bass drum. The group even called their sound as Urban Brass and is a mixture of a New Orleans marching band, the California wind radio group Tower of Power and Rap. No typical Bavarian sound but through the instrumentation of new sound from Bavaria: meets Hip-Hop band music. With Come with us, the album starts with a quiet noise. Few seconds later rise first softly, then increasingly louder a deep wind. The sound is always clear; the approaching calamity is once heralded both by the sharp, razor-sharp sound of trumpets and the monotonously rising minims of Sousaphons. Now the verse begins with the rap, underpinned by swirling, ever-advancing sound of deep brass section. The piece builds up more and more: Suddenly you hear this sound oblique, you see 'ne marching band come closer; and running forward, has a megaphone and asked: Are you coming with? We now go ahead, we go! to then just in the chorus explosively discharged. Who is not entrain with this force, is your own fault. As soon as the smoke of the first sonic detonation fizzles, it's almost seamlessly into the second piece of the plate. Here does not start the horn section, but the snare drum leads the drive of the opener on. In King of the city center, the Group refers to its musical beginnings, as they made short, spontaneous, unannounced performances in pedestrian zones and city parks stir, both to the delight of the passing crowd, but also to the annoyance of the police officers. This they see themselves more as might be tolerated by the authorities, but not desirable, I am the king of the city center; The Outlaws of disobeyed; The allegiance to the I Support My power; If the fat sewer rats of outflows ;. Whether this is only a kreiertes of himself Image or a fact in this attitude was once undecided. Nevertheless, it works with the listener, because he feels inevitably empathy with the band that come through tracks like Bull weighing (Do you see the bull weighing on our behalf?; We show up uninvited; Is resoundingly) intensified. Generally one can say about the fourteen songs that the principle wind music with rap works exceedingly well. The rhythm of the plate is tight, never let up, but without being boring. Not only the music, with its clear, streamlined arrangements, some of which are reminiscent of the horn section of the James Brown Band of the 60s and 70s, but also the lyrics suck the listener to truly and drag it into its spell. The lyrics are consistently well thought out, sharp as a knife, of course, critical of society with a high veracity but it is also poetic: Beloved: I say it this way rap is my mistress; She sleeps in my bed but pays no rent !. This rap has nothing in common with many aggressive, contemptuous stayed musical derailment, with which one often likes to combine this style stereotypically. Moop Mama manages on her own acoustic style electronic beats deliberately omitted to connect the people and not to divide them. Your mother is an absolutely successful debut, which gives an idea of the listener immediately, which only makes sound live must overcome one when the preserve is so intoxicating. And in fact, live the eleven musicians a stunner. In their bright red suits remind indeed more like Guantanamo detainees who have been captured in the guerrilla war, but coupled with this powerful wall of sound and the rehearsed choreography can not help but to be completely thrilled. However, my favorite song is not on the CD, but was a single release last year: love. Who has the opportunity Moop Mama to see live, should they perceive in any case, because as they say, of the kings of the city center: And then I'd like to distribute it, this love that I have; Why all the envy, intrigue and hatred? Because in the end are whether fat and white, or black and emaciated, we all the same, like the songs on the charts.
