In a review of their second album BIG BEAT Ken Waxman called them "an unapologetic party band with brains...with tonal inflections from the Big Easy, central Africa, the Maghreb and the Baltic states."
The Brooklyn based group performed internationally in Egypt, Germany and most recently at Tudo é Jazz in Brazil and stateside at the Lowdown Hudson Blues Festival, NYC Winter Jazz Festival, Lincoln Center and various Jam Band Festivals, sharing the bill with Rebirth Brass Band, Big Sam's Funky Nation and B.B. King.
In the big city they make people dance in subway stations, parks and at their numerous club dates at nublu, Barbes and Brooklyn Bowl.
Underground Horns is led by alto saxophonist Welf Dorr, who, originally from Munich (Germany), moved 1995 to New York where he played/recorded with Sonny Simmons, Frank Lacy, Sabir Mateen, Butch Morris, Kenny Wollesen, Jojo Kuo and Vernon Reid.
Brown Rice Family will be celebrating the launch of their new music video "Latin Goes Ska" which is a remix of the Skatalites original from 1964.
In this video the band features America’s got talent winner Kenichi Ebina and internationally acclaimed dance teacher/choreographer Pat Hall and her Brooklyn dance community.
Brown Rice Family is a multi national world roots band with members hailing from Japan, Jamaica, Haiti, Nigeria, South Africa & USA and is the winner of the WNYC's Battle of the Boroughs 2012.
