Ivo PapasovDance of the Falcon (World Village) Ivo Papasov is a master of the Balkan clarinet whose fiery concerts have been acclaimed throughout the world. The album features traditional themes of sex and death: songs sung at weddings; music summoned to pacify the spirits; music to dance to; music to drink to. Ivo takes these potent songs and reinvents them in his own image. Dance of the Falcon takes inspiration from themes close to Ivo's heart. "I've been wanting to record these tunes for a long time. They've been in my mind for years and I didn't even dare to think that one day I'd be able to record them… My performances here are modern interpretations. But it's good to look back and to remember who we are, where we come from and to preserve this music for our children and for those who will come after us." The album, featuring drummer and regular Papasov sideman Salif Ali, and introducing Bulgarian jazz pianist Vasil Parmakov, was recorded by Messechina Music on location in Bulgaria.

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.
