Spice Express by Batiar Gang
The time has finally come:
you're hearing our second album 🌶️ Spice Express 🌶️
After years of inspiring travels and a wealth of musical treasures, we've packed 13 tasty tracks onto this magnificent disc.
Everything was recorded and crafted by the crackling fireplace in the idyllic Neuseenmühle, deep in nature. Amidst goats and donkeys, a masterpiece has emerged for you musical gourmets.
There are new sounds, more instruments, even more passionate musicians, and so many dear friends, who accompany us on our musical journey.
Our love for the sounds and stories of eastern and southeastern europe remains unbroken, as does our goal to get your dancing feet moving.
So go ahead, press play, and - Hajde! Jump aboard, the train is rolling and our music is served piping hot!

Batiar Gang is a unique collective of clanging trumpets, saxophones and clarinets, two artistic accordions, a powerful drum kit, funky bass and unique, polyphonic vocals from south-eastern Europe. They dance and sweat to an unmistakable borscht of songs from the band's 10-year history, created on the roads or with a lot of wanderlust in the rehearsal room at home.
