"Ursari music or Bear tamers music: Shukar's sound is coming from the old times, when Tatars and Mongolians came to Dacia (the old name of Romania). The members of Shukar (that's mean 'fine' in rom language) play very original sounds called ursari music (which descends from the brotherhood of the bear-tamers), a very old and primitive kind of gipsy nomad music. They use primitive and old 'instruments' like spoons, wooden barrel or darabuka. Shukar's music is very powerful and 'aggressive' but highly and deeply emotional. Basically it's exclusively a music made of percussions and voices. The core of the group is made of 3 exceptional people: Napoleon, Tamamgo and Classic. A unique, powerful and deeply emotional sound, exclusively from percussions (spoons, wooden barrel, darabuka...) and voices; dating back to the arrival of the Tatars and Mongolians in Dacia (now known as Romania)."
