Please note!
Most of our 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. I 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.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

Longe - Maraca
$13.99
(cdRoots# ind-longe)
Maraca are from the Czech town of Zlin. Fronted by singer Gabriela Plíšková (who also plays violin and viola), the ensemble presents instrumentation new and old, local and global, including guitars, oud, percussion, didgeridoo, cello, saxophones, Pan pipes, clarinet, flutes, French horn and bass guitar. The sound is distinctly jazzy, almost lounge lizard in its cool. Here they set to music the works of Portuguese author Fernando Pessoa, futher cementing their placeless, timeless and rootless cosmopolitan approach.

On Písne nepísne he is accompanied by an ensemble of bass, guitars, percussion, violin, viola and accordion, he plays and sings a subtle set of songs by himself and other writers (including Bohuslav Reynek, F.
