INTERVIEW: Dumai Dunai releases debut album

Interview by Frédéric Cardin
Genres and styles : Eastern European / Punk / Ska / Traditional

Additional Information

Real deal Montreal punk-dub-ska-east-European-trad-Ukrainian-balkans band Dumai Dunai have been raising the roof on every stage and audience they’ve visited since their first show in 2022. We’ve seen them a lot and everywhere in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and Europe, so much so that we were under the impression they’d already released at least one album. Not so. Sometime Between Now and Never, the band’s first opus, will be released on June 14, 2024. The launch will take place at the Ukrainian Federation of Montreal, during an evening featuring other explosive groups such as Dusty Brass and Sumak Brass Band, as well as an essential complement of booze and food! An evening that will end very late, according to Eli Camilo, co-frontperson (with Natalia Telentso) of Dumai Dunai. Here’s an interview with Camilo about the album.
