About Txütxükan:
"Txütxükan" (pronounced "TchuTchuKan") is a young punchy French band, mainly inspired by Eastern European music (Gypsy, Balkan, Klezmer), with influences from a wide range of music, including jazz and experimental. Their repertoire includes fast festive sets, emotional songs, well-known tunes, and a bit of madness. Last year they released a new original Album "Balkan Jig" with their own compositions (Label: Wild Boar Music, Belgium). They have played in: Fusion Festival (Berlin), Aurillac Festival (FR), Midsummer Festival (Cork), Crane Lane Theatre (Cork), and many other venues, festivals, pubs, and streets :o)
