Liner notes from their albums would have it that the band was created in a Balkan town called Szegerely, where it played at the Crazy Loquat Club, before the members were transported inside refrigerators to England.
In truth however the creation of the band began in 1982 when guitarist and musicologist Ben Mandelson (aka Hijaz Mustapha) & Uncle Patrel (aka Lu Edmunds), started playing together, along with Patrel’s other “nephews”, namely Houzam (regarded by many as possibly one of the best drummers of all time), Isfa’ani, Oussack and Niaveti III. Before World music became a genre, they were already playing musical styles from all around the globe. According to band members the first concert was held in a London restaurant that year. A concert in Berlin made them more, and a mini-album was subsequently released, but their first album, Shopping, was recorded in 1987.
