The long-awaited new album by the funkiest of all Balkan brass bands … A powerful, romantic, inventive opus, full of epic love songs, and sometimes tilting towards oriental surf music or some kind of mutant Eastern rock, with the help of guest guitarists Uri Kinrot (Balkan Beat Box) and Vincent Kenis.
****************************************************** Kocani Orkestar + Beirut performing together in Paris:
The mighty Kocani Orkestar are among the funkiest exponents of the Balkan brass band style which is found across ex-Yugoslavia and is a direct descendent of the music once played by Turkish army bands. They come from the city of Kocani, in the new Republic Of Macedonia. Their music is based on Gypsy tunes from various parts of the Balkans and on Turkish/Bulgarian rhythms, with a sprinkle of Latin flavour... A powerful rhythm section (drummer + four tubas) which rocks like a mutant Balkan funk band wailing, passionate soloists (sax, trumpet, clarinet, accordion) which go to soaring heights these & other elements of their trademark thundering style have made Kocani Orkestar one of the best-liked Gypsy bands in Europe and the US. Artists such as Cibelle, Beirut and Balkan Beat Box count among their fans (and are known to sometime cover some of their songs). Kocani Orkestar have had tracks remixed by Senor Coconut, Lightning Head, Gaetano Fabri & Mercan Dede (in the Electric Gypsyland album), and by Animal Collective, Cibelle, Susheela Raman & Buscemi (in Electric Gypsyland 2)

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Let us present a little comment, That in this very particular moment, Presents happiness for lack of rejection That turned into invisible connection Of ThiSpace and ThaTime friends, Link so sturdy that it never ends, And a little video it sends...
