"Incredibly skillful." *****
DE VOLKSKRANT
"A true home port for the ears.
Deep balkan soul, unpolished."

(CD of the week)
"Exciting, earthy music...
a great revelation." *****
HET PAROOL
Bulgar
Dance!
A driving, klezmer-inflected
groove like the best Gypsy
brass beats. The first band
with this sound to come
out of Ukraine!
We do run the inevitable myspace site, if you fancy numbers and commercials. Myspace is a good place to find unusual stuff, tho. (And the usual, too.)
Doina
An ancient Jewish-
Bessarabian melody,
beauty and pride
of sadness...
Kurka chubaturka
This is but one of
hundreds of beautiful
Ukrainian songs you can
hear at the Baranovsky's
kitchen table in Kodyma.
Come on by! There's
always a glass of wine
waiting for you.
Moldovskaya
This is the deliciously
slow and powerful dance
groove crafted through
many generations in
Podolia. If this doesn't
make you wanna move,
we don't know what does!
