| "The Incredible Istanbul Gipsy Band is no revivalist outfit cranking out the old tunes for the old audience. They are energetic seekers of new sounds from old roots, and they incorporate jazz, a little funky, bluesy mood here and there, even a wierd turn on Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" theme. Save for a little distorted electric guitar, this is an acoustic ensemble to be reckoned with. Oud, kanun, kaval, zurna, davul, strings and reeds are pulled into interesting combinations, giving rise to an international Gipsy sound that's fresh and innovative but never trite or cheesy. They have an effervesence that's funny, soulful and wild." - RootsWorld |

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.
