Modern Gypsies
Now available in the Shop, AmazonMP3 & iTunes
"The Akron three-piece plays a gypsy-blues style — a less punk, more composed Gogol Bordello. The band claims to be descended from Spanish gypsies, and they certainly sound like it."
"The faces will be familiar in this smoky-sounding band for those who know the music scene, they are perfect..."
-Buzbin Magazine
Adhering to the gypsy minstrel traditions of his descendants, that trace their origins to the early 12th century, Hoseff brings to life a style of music that owes as much to it’s ethnic roots and story-telling base as it does to Neo-Continental rock and blues. With the release of his debut album, Modern Gypsies, Hoseff keeps this “Gitanos” musical tradition alive with spirited vocals, haunting melodies and a truly original sound. His voice is spell binding like that of a gypsy story-teller and his songs come directly from his experiences as an urban observer and metropolitan traveler.
Hoseff is a singer, songwriter, performer and producer. Among the original compositions on Modern Gypsies, are lyrical arrangements from legendary Spanish poet, Federica Garcia Lorca and Akron-based lyricist Charles Auerbach, whose work was included on an early Black Keys album. Angie Haze, a talented vocalist and pianist with strong ties to her Italian heritage, also accompanies Hoseff on Modern Gypsies.
