Sounds Like: As a band invariably filed under "world music", Terrafolk had the art of non-verbal communication down pat.It's not that Slovenians Bojan, Mystica and Mark O'Tango can't speak English. That they can was clear from their hilariously unbefitting death metal version of You Are My Sunshine and the surreal inter-song commentary.
It's just that when they played, it was with such unbridled enthusiasm their performance tipped over into physical theatre.
Not satisfied with fiddling with a finesse which betrayed his former life with the Ljubljana Opera House Orchestra, Bojan revealed he could also play his viola backwards.
Mark O'Tango attacked his drum set like a man possessed, while Mystica took us on a surfing safari of the astral planes with his prog-rock guitar solos.
The team's Australian double bass player, Kate Hosking, added to the drama with her operatic freestyling.
With a set list which weaved together a Vivaldi concerto, an Irish jig, a jitterbug jive and Zorba The Greek, the world is Terrafolk's stage.
