Buff'grol
Tarale (Modal Pleinjeu)
$16.99

| "This quartet from Pitou, France has taken the themes of French work songs and children's music and developed a set of recordings that is at once charming and bizarre. The band uses a lot of reeds (clarinet, saxophones, cornmuse, ivy leaves) along with violin, accordion and raucous vocals. The reeds give a community dance band sound to the tunes at one moment, but can also propel them into avant garde jazz or sparse pop settings of the same folk melodies at another. It is these conflicts that give Tarale its greatest strength; they move from solo fiddle tune to driving ensemble, from gravelly work song to jazz improvisation with a perverse logic. So many bands see their task as taking a crude folk melody and polishing it until it's smooth and shiny. Buff'Grol revel in the sharp edges and find beauty in the rough." - RootsWorld |

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.
