This is a wild ride: Norwegian accordionist/composer and his fellow Nordic musicians collide with a group of Bulgarians to create what, on their previous recording, they called "speed-Balkan-boogie." It's like nothing you have heard before, this blend of Bulgaian wedding music, Nordic rock, and a general high energy and spirit fueled by virtuoso musicianship.

"Farmers Market displays incredible musicianship, shown individually as well as collectively by the ensemble. For those who
appreciate edgy jazzed-off experiments with Balkan traditional music, this is not to be missed. - Don Weeda (RootsWorld) (see the full review)
"an engaging and thoroughly entertaining affair and one of the major surprises of 2000. Basically, this is a gorgeously produced effort, enhanced by Winter & Winter's notoriously impeccable audio engineering. – Hence, you may find it difficult to remove this gem from the CD player. Highly recommended! " - Glenn Astarita (AllAboutJazz.com) |

Please note!
Most 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.
We 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.
