No other band remotely resembles the masterful musicians of ZUM, with their inspiring fusion of folk music traditions from around the world. Sophisticated jazz glides magically into wild gypsy fiddling, Celtic lament into hot-blooded Arabic melody. These world-class, classically trained musicians present an awesome line—up of toe-tapping virtuosity, harmony and rhythmic power.
From the diasporan melting pot of cosmopolitan London, ZUM is truly undefinable.
Originated as a stunning fusion inspired by the hot-blooded passion of Argentinian tango and the fire and brilliance of gypsy fiddle music, ZUM have delved deep in to their own roots to create a passionate fusion of folk music traditions from around the world.
The band has enjoyed sold-out tours and performances at major music festivals throughout the UK and toured to the USA on three occasions, as well as extensive touring in Europe along with live radio and TV broadcasts.
"...fiery, passionate and intriguingly beautiful. A delight to hear
and a treat to watch..."

"...intoxicating... virtuoso fiddle playing..."
