Kazubstep - Retrograd track by track, 2/15

Next up on "Retrograd" is "Kazubstep," a tune composed by our talented bassist, Andrzej Krejniuk. Andrzej was in the band from the very beginning until 2006 and played an important role in shaping the initial sound of Afenginn. Kazubstep was often a highlight in our early shows, usually played as an encore along with "Hønen."

"Kazubstep" has a lively klezmerish vibe that captures the energy and spirit of our formative years and always got the crowd moving. It features an energetic bass solo from Andrzej. His solos were always something extraordinary -packed full with as many notes as possible within the time available. After his part, Anders Vesterdahl takes over with an accordion solo, adding his own touch to the track.

This piece was a regular on our setlists during the first years, but unfortunately we haven’t performed it much since then (except when Andrzej were subbing for a number of shows). Step step step!
