I think Bubu is Symphonic prog.. Their music ground is melodic, not improvised at all.

Hello again, friends.

The fact is that the dose of avant-garde jazz and avant-garde chamber BUBU's prog music is so big that they could hardly qualify as your average symphonic prog band. I fact, the aforementioned elements would even locate them closer to RIO than to symphonic. Yet, their sense of melody and rhythm is not as challenging as to be completely RIO. Most of their violin-sax-flute orchestrations remind me of early 70s Zappa. Well, it's onl a suggeston. All in all, the main ideas are in the reviews, not in the ratings or the classifications... as important as these are, of course.

   Kind regards.

Well, not really they just mentioned Univers Zéro as an influence, among others such as magma and King Crimson. But Sympho-prog seems to be the best label to classify them.

HI, FIRENDS OF PROGARCHIVES, THIS IS CÉSAR INCA.

Well, I'd like to make a suggestion regarding BUBU's classification as a symphonic prog band in the Archives. I'm glad that their only spectacular album "Anabelas" has got an average 4.5 star grade, but it feels quite weird, after reading most of the reviews, that they be labelled as a "Symphonic Prog" band. 

According to the clarifying description of Jazz Rock / Fusion:
"This style fuses traditional jazz arrangements, instruments, and performance style with elements of progressive rock. The result is usually instrumental jazz-rock with a somewhat more technical and complex edge." BUBU's music couldn't be better described than this; that's why it feels more appropriate to label it as a band located in the Jazz Rock / Fusion side of prog, that's where they really belong, or at least, that's the most accurate label for them.

   Kind regards.

 

Tough one> When I hear Bubu, I hear Crimson and (a bit) VDGG and they are both also qualified as sympho rock (which does not satisfy me amd many other collabs , but we find no better category either)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
