Darko's Cargo is a sort of Balkan gothic cabaret,
worldwide, full of sound and fury, defying any
attempt of categorization and in which the most
various styles jostle together: funk and violin, punk
and romance, cacophony and blues and this always
as brilliant, contemporary and inspired. Darko is a
Croatian refugee who left Zagreb to Paris during the
civil war and who seems forever scarred by the
apocalyptic state of mind that characterized this
conflict. He was a new wave apostle in the pre-war
Yugoslavia with his band Haustor , film scores
composer and radio producer. Once arrived in Paris,
he met 8 musicians from different countries
(Croatia, Bosnia, France, Portugal, Switzerland) and
founded the Cargo Orkestar, an astonishing
creative laboratory. They produced together two
albums :
2004 Ruke (Piranha)
2006 Mhm A-Ah Oh Yeah Da-Da (Piranha)
