James Brown coined the power phrase “I’m black and I’m proud” and established an alternative positive way to deal with being a minority. According to Brown you don’t blame the majority that steps over you, don’t blame the discrimination, your poor education and lack of opportunities. James said that you can fight it back, you can be better, you can be proud and strong. Los Caparos are proud and strong. Their humor driven jungle of ska and reggae gives a whole new taste to the Russian immigration to Israel. They are here, they are proud of it, they are happy and they make one hell of a festival out of it. Big respect to the Los Caparos guys!

Colourful and loud Frekenbok will drag you in a never ending carnival. They will take you on a spinning carousel ride, turning it into a melodic ride. With a mixture of energetic ska rhythms and punk, spiced up with reggae and rock, Frekenbok melts everything together into a dancing and laughing circus. Those of you who are familiar with Goran Bregovic’s powerful and rich Balkan rhythms might be able to draw certain comparisons.
