ORGES & THE OCKUS-ROCKUS BAND // (BalconyTV)

open on their debut album with the title track Aheng, aheng!. This album is full of lust for life & the fire of the Balkans. The energy and pumping sound, that this band delivers, will thrill everyone. Thereʼs no chance, but to move your feet to their rhythm. Disco beats fly around accompanied by gipsy bass lines. The Rockabilly- Guitar deliberately uses one cliché after another. But as soon as the rough voice, only comparable to Paolo Conte, starts telling stories in Albanian, heavens would start to cry. Orges Toce is a worldʼs citizen. He grew up in the communist Albania of the 1980s. After living in Spain for some years, he moved to Austria. He is driven from the dirt (Zhul) in the streets of Tirana and the corruption (Scheiss' auf Korruption) that still dominates politics in his homecountry. However romance never dies and songs like Vajze cigane (Gipsy girl) and Karroca e vjeter (Old caravan) restore hope to his Balkans-soul. As rich as Albanian history seems to be, as colorful is Aheng, aheng!, the debut album of Orges & The Ockus - Rockus Band
