Brothers Moving “Minnie The Moocher”
Brothers moving are a group of four talented musicians traveling and playing music together. With their own unique style and genre, they have impressed people all over the world with their awesome street performances.
During a busking session, Brothers Moving were captured on video performing “Minnie The Moocher”, a song by American jazz singer, Cab Calloway. The video was a massive hit online, being shared across the world and watched by millions. The band’s career was jumpstarted due to the success of the video above.
There are 3 brothers in the band from Denmark, they originally formed “Brothers Moving” in New York City back in 2008. Consisting of brothers Esben Knoblauch, Aske Knoblauch, and Simon Knoblauch (cajón) along with Nils Sørensen. They ended up creating one of the best street bands to ever walk the planet.
Regarded as one of the “most influential street bands” they were an early adopter of the Cajon, which is the box drum that Simon Knoblauch (one of three brothers in the band) plays. The band were Pioneers of the portable instrument which adds so much depth to a street performance without the need to set up a drum kit.
With such fast success after they started performing on the streets, they were invited to play at clubs, pubs, and festivals in the area. Sticking to their musical roots, the band kept on performing on the streets alongside these more formal performances.
Mixing languages and mixing genres, the band sing in Danish and in English and play a large diverse range of musical styles inspired by blues, reggae, folk, rock and funk
The band’s following continued to grow locally and globally. In 2016, they were the headline act at concerts in Moscow and Saint Petersburg which were completely sold out and left the public raving about their performance.
