CD of the week (December)

Gyi! (Besh o droM)
Besh o droM's latest release serves up that mix of differing styles and genres so loved by the fans of East European music: hot Balkan rhythms and gypsy tunes spiced with a sense of humour and modernity. Besh o droM makes wild music plundered from the folk music of the Hungarian, Rumanian, Bulgarian, Southern Slav, Greek people - with a distinct Gypsy, Turkish and Middle Eastern flavour! On "Gyi!" Besh o droM are joined by two popular female singers: Ági Szaloki and Mónika Mitsoura.

The band's website is certainly worth a visit, where the track can be listened at (but not downloaded)
Listen here to one sample

After listening to tracks like Tortapapir and Fidoe you will realise that these guys are really good!
