MEGAFON –the electro gypsies - new album ”HURRA” - 1st October 2011.
Marte Schau (N) and Mikael Fleron (DK) , a beautiful couple making spicy wild worldtronica with flavours from many ”kitchens”. An intense mixture of nordic light, balkan heat and oriental moods. Stirred, fried, played and produced in their own kitchen, idyllically located in the Danish countryside.
Martes spellbinding vocal, completely familiar with the technique of Balkan traditional singing is combined with nordic sound, accompanied by fierce beats and Mikaels springy saxophone. The lyrics jumps between norwegian, danish, bulgarian and english. Wonderfully confused , just like the music.
Live, they bring along Kaspar Luke on monster bass and Heidi Petersen´s highly groovy drums. Touring Scandinavia, their audience is growing fast, knowing they'll have a party every time! Listen to Megafons adventures and electrofolkdance till you drop!!
Track nr.3 ”Bondemand” released as a single 3.3.11. ”Bondemand” also appears on World Music Denmarks CD ”World Track of the Year 2011", with a possibility to get a Danish Music Award 2011. Track nr.1 ”Skål” appears on WMD Export CD 2011.
Mikael Fleron
The main producer and musician in Megafon. Born in the Copenhagen suburb Albertslund.
His main instrument is the saxophone, but give him a bass, a guitar, a clarinet or any kind of wind instrument and he will play it. He started out as a kid with his sax in the local big band, but quite soon he went of to the avantgarde scene. Both as a singer and a sax player. Screaming his guts out in the underground of Copenhagen for years. He is also an excellent sound tecnician and has made sound and foley to a lot of films, television and commercials.
Marte Schau
The singer and main text and melodymaker in Megafon.
Born in a small village outside Oslo,Norway, she started to sing soprano in the local choir at the age of 6. She left for the city in her teens and gave it as a singer and partyqueen on the underground scene of Oslo. Which also contained flamenco, and various nordic folk singing.
She left for Denmark to get an education as an actress. There she met the fabulous bulgarian singer Tsvetanka Varimezova, and got hooked on the bulgarian style! You can also hear her voice on Norwegian TV, as a program announcer on Discovery Channel or in commercials and movies.
