cd cover Gypsy Groovz Orchestra
Night Train for Lovers and Thieves (Network Medien)

The BBC said: "Perhaps the year’s best album of Gypsy music"

At the invitation of Network records, many stars of the legendary Guca Festival got together for a special session. No sooner had they arrived in Guca, than they were all snowed in. For days there was no escape, but sufficient supplies of food and drink were on hand, so the music rolled on. With the assistance of Ekrem Sajdic, the leading authority and oldest band leader among the trumpet players of Guca, a magnificent cast of musicians was assembled featuring no less than seven orchestras. The centerpiece of the album is the 34-minute track "Hot Water Festival" wherein trumpets, tubas, clarinets and saxophones play totally free and exuberant solos to the ancient Roma melodies. The album is a unique document, with lots of photos and text by Guca festival producer Ilija Stankovic.

A stroke of luck for the history of music: at the invitation of Network, many stars of the legendary Guca Festival, at which they are in strong competition with one another each year, got together for a special session. No sooner had they arrived in Guca, than they were all snowed in. For days there was no escape, but there sufficient supplies of food and drink. The more than 50 musicians played as if in a delirium, the highpoint being the Hot Water Festival, when trumpets, tubas, clarinets and saxophones played totally free and exuberant solos to cultic Roma melodies. This brilliant 35-minute Balkan Fiesta was garlanded by ballads in which the wind instruments were accompanied by the melancholic sounds of accordions, violins, guitars and Rastafarian drummers. The producer team courageously uploaded these recordings onto the Internet through Facebook, whereupon other musicians from all over the world joined the unusual party. A unique document, with lots of photos and texts.
