Wild Boar - Music from Belgium at cdRoots

Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

The band says: Carduelis Carduelis... the latin word for a "goldfinch" or "putter" in flemish, a songbird widespread in Europe and the sole vocalist on this disc.... For ages now it has been passing on its song, over the borders, averse to trends and free as... a bird. And although Amorroma's music is new, it contains that same centuries-old inspiration, passed on over the whole of Europe.

Ambrozijn (first CD) - Ambrozijn
$15.99
(cdRoots# wbm-03)
This Belgian ensemble is one of those wondrous bands that make a simple description impossible. They can make music that is deceptively direct, using folk instruments like fiddle, guitar and accordion to produce straight folk melodies and dance tunes. But they can also jump out of the mold completely, advancing into difficult and complex new music full of unexpected rhythms and subtle dissonance.
