NPR: World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN|DeVotchKa Episode
Coming up on World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN, we hope you enjoy a concert with DeVotchKa. This four-piece ensemble took a huge leap into public consciousness in 2006 when they earned a Grammy nomination for their original score to "Little Miss Sunshine." DeVotchKa's global sound features accordion, theremin, trumpet, and sousaphone, and with the album "A Mad and Faithful Telling," an extensive string section adds new texture to their fresh gypsy-rock. In this session with host David Dye, singer Nick Urata discusses the making of their breakthrough film soundtrack, as well as his admiration for Frank Sinatra, which comes to the fore on the band's new covers EP.
