In this time of ever-increasing mass production and the profusion of available products, where primary emotions and feelings are so easily forgotten, Fanfare Romantique celebrates and extols emotions. In fact, the new album is an ode to romance, and the compositions, with a touch of classical, traditional charm of the 1930s and 1940s music, convey various emotions, passion and, above all, love.

Swingatan play exclusively their own, self-penned songs, highly original in terms of the different approaches to musical arrangement and compositional complexity. Written by all members of the band, each of the new album’s tracks bears its own stamp. So much more than just the gipsy jazz or swing it is grounded in, Swingatan's music evolved its own distinctive and original style with a touch of "Slavic swing".

The band released two albums, Swingin' Heaven (2019) and Swingatan Live (2021). Appearing in a romantic makeover and a reconfigured, even better fine-member outfit, Swingatan are making their CD Club debut with a new album, Fanfare Romantique.
