Who are Tula Troubles?
Tula Troubles is the name of a project started in 2007 in Munich (Germany).
During all these years, musicians from fourteen different countries joined the
project contributing to the definition of a style called “Chanson-Ska” – a
contamination of ska and reggae with genres from all over the world, from rock to
balcan, from waltz to oriental to romantic chansons.
It doesn’t matter if they are singing about revolutions, middle eastern weddings or
blondes in swimming pools, Tula Troubles creates tons of good mood on the stage.
Besides skanks and jumps, the band's concert provides great opportunities for
belly dancing, headbanging, or even for dancing a Waltz. The fascinating world
tour through music lets no foot stay idle.
Tula Troubles stands for universality, humanity and fairness in a world, which is,
unfortunately, preposterous and violent.
Jean de la Fontaine in his fable “the Wolf and the Lamb” describes how the
stronger always overcomes the weaker, even if the latter has better arguments. In
this fable a wolf and a lamb meet each other at a stream. The wolf accuses the
lamb to dirty the water. The lamb reasonably responds that since he is
downstream he cannot possibly dirty his water. The wolf answers “You are
dirtying it!” (french: “Tu la troubles!”) and he devours the lamb. This the origin of
the name Tula Troubles.
This fable reminds us of many conflicts and attitudes of all sorts of fanatics, who
identify their opinions as the absolute truth no matter how many arguments prove
them wrong.
“Our music is an attempt to describe our temporary ideas and our current point of
view on matters... Every idea is valuable, as long as it does not aim to become
collective.“
