With so much going on during the Auckland Arts Festival it's easy to feel overwhelmed with choice. It's a powerful hit of traditional gypsy and Balkan folk instrumentation crammed into a rock n' roll format. Hailing from Serbia and fronted by award-winning and eccentric filmmaker Emir Kusterica, the music disregards all boundaries of limit and genre. The mixing of these styles makes Paris Combo sound both familiar and new and guarantees a thoroughly unique night. Fronted by chanteuse Belle du Berry, who can switch from bewitching and breathy to swinging and soulful, the Paris Combo will bring plenty of French flair to Auckland.
