From the record label:
Musicians from Bulgaria, Spain, Ireland and the UK formed the group Orkestina to provide an outlet for their shared love of the musical treasures of Eastern Europe. The band ’s repertoire includes sacred and profane music from the Gypsy and Jewish communities of Romania, Bulgaria and Poland. Their sound is an effervescent mix of cheery accordions, lilting violins and driving bass paired with Bulgarian gadulkas (lutes), clarinets and percussion. The band has been a sensation in Spain. Positivity the band's fourth disc, is a simple and self-sufficient fusion of East-European roots music. However, Orkestina always make the music their own, reaching the highest technical and musical levels, through their pristine arrangements which allow the music full freedom of expression.
