For him the technique of playing the tzambal was not solely one of speed; his sensitive touch, immense skill and imaginative verve marked him as a master amongst Lautari. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Sounds From A Bygone Age Vol. 4".. .. .. or download the album @ .. ...... _____________________________________________________________.. ..DONA DUMITRU SIMINICA ..sang Romanian blues from the suburbs with his unique falsetto voice and offered consolation to the lonely, tended the wounds of the deserted and prepared those newly-infatuated for the end of their love. Music for the soul with its original sound – recorded in the early 1960s! .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Sounds From A Bygone Age Vol. 3".. .. .. or download the album @ .. ...... _____________________________________________________________.. ..KAL.. are the hottest Gypsy band from the suburbs of Belgrad, rock’n’roll in attitude, fuelled on urban beats and rooted in the Balkan blues. In their wit, imagination and ability to throw disparate sounds together they mark themselves as both part of Balkan Gypsy tradition and 21st Century dancefloor rebels. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Kal".. .. .. or download the album @ .. ...... _____________________________________________________________.. The "Billy Holiday of the East" ..ROMICA PUCEANU.. was the grande dame of the "cantece de mahala." She was a soulful performer of the songs from the poor suburbs, which merged Turkish "cifte-telli" rhythms with Romanian melodies and lyrics. The recordings with the Gore Brothers still represent the traditional "raw" withdrawn sound of the old taraf. The arrangements are clear and minimalist, creating space befitting Puceanu's sparkling voice. Romanian mahala sounds in original analogue sound recorded in the 1960s! .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Sounds From A Bygone Age, Vol. 2".. .. .. or download the album @ .. ...... _____________________________________________________________.. On the only long-playing record by the Romanian violinist ..ION PETRE STOICAN.., the most important gypsy musicians from the Bucharest Lautari scene are united in an all-star band and through a bizarre stroke of luck created one of the most atmospheric records of the time. Romanian traditional music in original analog sound recorded in the 1970s! .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .."Sounds From A Bygone Age, Vol. 1".. _____________________________________________________________.. On their album “Play-Station” the three musicians of ..MOTION TRIO.. concentrate their efforts on reclaiming sounds from the digital world. Six hands pick up electrically generated notes and turn them into acoustic anthems on their instrument of choice: the accordion. All of a sudden a 'playstation' offers more than 100 buttons! Bursts of sound or sparkling triplets, tribal rhythms, percussive notes played on instruments by Pigini, the ‘Rolls Royce of accordions. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Play-Station".... .. or download the album @ .. ...... _____________________________________________________________.. "We are magicians of music and in Zece Prajini the ancient secrets of Gypsy magic live". Ioan, ..FANFARE CIOCARLIA....s oldest member and group historian, once answered when asked if jazz was a big influence on the Fanfare, "Who..s to say our cousins who went to the US didn..t help invent jazz?" On Ancient Secrets this matter and other mysteries of Gypsy magic are set forth. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Gili Garabdi".... .. or download the album @ .. ...... _____________________________________________________________.. Let ..JONY ILIEV.. entrance you with the Balkan groove of his diabolically swinging band! Indulge in the maestros voice, join him on his frantic ride through the streets of Sofias gypsy quarters, enjoy!.. "A Bulgarian singer that deserves nothing less than stardom." (Songlines) .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Ma Maren Ma".. .. .. or download the album @ .. ...... _____________________________________________________________.. ..MOTION TRIO.. – Reclaim the sounds! This innovative Polish trio founded in 1996 has already successfully changed the face of their instrument: The accordion. Most of the music played by this ‘Trio Infernal’ so masterly is written by Janusz Wojtarowicz. The vanguard sound collages range somewhere between minimal music, jazz and disco polo - and meet the Notion of Motion: to redefine the accordion and explore soundscapes far beyond what has been experienced and associated with this instrument to date. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Pictures from the street".. .. .. or download the album @ .. ...... _____________________________________________________________.. ..Besh o droM.. are a group whose following takes to the dance floor at the first notes of each concert and just cannot stop dancing! Dipping in and out of many different cultures and traditions including Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian and Greek, Besh o droM arrange their music in their very own, original fashion. Their name is a Gipsy idiom for 'Go your own way!'. And so they do. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Can't Make Me!".. .. .. or download the album @ .. ...... _____________________________________________________________.. Olah Vince is a legendary figure in the music scene of Novi Sad, having been established for nearly 40 years. He takes a big leap forward here with his group ..Earth Wheel Sky Band.., based in the Serbian region of Vojvodina, part of Panonia, where influences are so mixed, Gypsies can make the best use of these situations. Are we not all Gypsies? Listen to this music, dance, shout, be Gypsy, be free. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .."Waltz Rromano".... .. or download the album @ .. ...... _____________________________________________________________ .. visit ..Asphalt Tango Records.. and discover many, many more...! .. .. ...... .. .. ..............www.balkanbeats.pt.to..........
