Giacomo…
comes from a lineage of unknown, behind the scenes influencers, and jokesters, from the well known land of "Li-Talia". Some say his ancestors intentionally altered the blueprint for the Tower of Piza to lean at its current angle because "it was too perfect". Excelling at hijinks, he enjoys tricking people into having a good time, dancing to music they would have otherwise ignored, and bringing them closer to the realization that life can actually have good qualities such as …joy… …triumph… …fun… …singing… …happy faces… …bright colors… …and the little things. |

Ohannes
…appeared into our realm as a result of the collected, shared intense emotion of extreme, tearful joy emoted by those of whom participated in a 3-day festival of dancing in his village from a hidden land, far, far away—perhaps "The Fertile Crescent", or something like that (if such a place even existed). Having skipped the infant, toddler, childhood years, and puberty, he was already 18 feet tall, fully cognizant and aware of all the local rhythms, not requiring any instruction nor needing to know the names and math involved to make beauteous music from any percussion instrument thrown at him. Eventually, he appeared on the scene in this land with doumbek in hand, laying down the beats, and teaching the party people the traditional dances of his home land. Scientists claim that the reason Ohannes appears to be quite shorter than the height printed on his driver's license is due to refraction. |

The squad member known as "Rhadni" (because his actual multi-syllabic name, unintelligible to our ears, vaguely sounds like that) is from unknown origin, although some speculate he may be from Outer Mongolia, or perhaps in a remote region near the Yucatán Peninsula, but it's anyone's guess at this point. One evening, he shows up to a performance unannounced, fully prepared with instruments and gear, with a vague foundation of the music, and joins in as if he had been playing the music for a lifetime. As a perpetual guest musician for years, he has disappeared and reappeared as mysteriously as his initial appearance, and although now a regularly performing member, still, nobody knows where he lives. |

Ko-Ko
…comes from a realm very distant from our comprehension of "what is", hailing from the other side of a proverbial Möbius strip, very close in proximity to our physical reality which one may call "Inner Earth". Ko-ko has analyzed human behavior by way of viewing triple reflections of individuals' auras bouncing off ethereal rain drops. Curious to learn more about us, he decided to experience "what is" through a "band", much like a Möbius strip, rich with its own twists and unusual outcomes. Due to the seemingly random nature of Gypsy Funk Squad, he believes he has found himself a good match. |
