"Mustafa"
"Az nali to reko libe"
This vocal-tamboura quartet from Bulgaria play authentic folk music from the Rhodope mountains in Bulgaria, with energy and directness. Their performance is captured in their home town setting, without a fancy studio sound or production... you'll hear the listeners join in, you might even hear the trucks drive by! The recording is unique in the way that it is played live in the immediate vicinity of the musicians - in the village Draginovo with little equipment. In this way we wanted to present the atmosphere, the sound of the environment in its natural way without the music studio.

| "It's a lovely sound: the four male voices drifting in and out of harmony above the complex strumming of the tamburas (lute-like instruments a bit like long-necked mandolins), or winding around one another on the slow unmeasured ballads... there is still something very special and different about this recording." - Kim Burton, Songlines |

Please note!
Most of our CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and we are 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 we
can, we used 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.
