The record label says:
Beyond the world of the hackneyed coffeehouse cliché, these recordings made at the renowned TomTom Studios in Budapest include soulful ballads, romantic suites and exciting festive songs. A Hungarian virtuoso violinist was invited and friends from the Paris-based group Bratsch (Bruno Girard on violin, Francois Castiello on accordion) were flown in specially. The focal point of this album is the superb voice of the diminutive Mitsou -- a real discovery. As a complement to the vocal acrobatics of the group whose music is firmly anchored in the tradition of the travelling gypsies, her performance is truly dazzling. Apart from violins and accordions, guitars and mandolins, traditional percussion instruments include milk cans, talking drums, earthenware pots and spoons. The profoundly emotive tracks on this double CD tell of the pain of separation, the yearning of love and the problems of daily gypsy life. This musical gem comes with a detailed, informative and lavishly illustrated booklet.

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.
