cd cover Ferus Mustafov
King Ferus
$17.99

"Subtitled "Macedonian Wedding Soul Food," saxophonist Mustafov and his band give warp-speed new meaning. Dueling accordions, scratchy electric guitars, solid rhythm section dominate, Ferus blows (wails?) and it all gets fed by some wild vocals. The band is central, there's little soloing here, just a constant barrage of notes by as many instruments as they can cram into an arrangement. Romany, Turkish and all manner of Balkan influences are here, along with a weird sense of jazz and blues tucked into the corners. It's pure Macedonian madness, powered by Hijaz Mustapha's beautifully hands-off production and adorned by Uncle Patrel's CD jacket." - CF

Info from the record label:
An extraordinary showman, Ferus Mustafov is the soul king of the Balkans. A virtuoso on clarinet and saxes famed for his wild, wailing Macedonian wedding animations. Full-tilt backing from accordion, keyboards, sax and percussion that takes a medley of songs and just gets faster and faster. Turkish, Indian film music, Latin and Greek influences are all part of the unique and fiery presentation of Ferus' music.

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.
