5.0 out of 5 stars
Great stuff,
By cadams (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Band of Gypsies (Audio CD)
I heard this CD playing at FNAC in Paris two years ago. I bought it and 'Chagrin Seulement' and 'Une Tsigane' are now always on my laptop (and therefor always where I am). These guys play great and sing greater. The rawness and elemental qualities of the music make this a must have CD in any international music collection

Romani beauty for the ears,
By Darby's Mom "darbymom" (Noo Yawk City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Band of Gypsies (Audio CD)
I heard this CD playing in the International section of a record shop, and was so mesmerized by it, I spent 20 minutes trying to track down a salesperson that actually KNEW what was playing! When I brought it home and listened to it, I was not disappointed. The music is vibrant, exciting and beautiful. It expresses both joy and a haunting feeling of persecution - that which, as I understand it, is the essence of the Roma.As a trained, musical person with a good ear, I can appreciate the melodies, harmonics and rhythms. You can dance to it, sing with it and just enjoy it!

Great CD for a Monday morning!,
By Neal C. Reynolds (Indianapolis, Indiana) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Band of Gypsies (Audio CD)
Energizing is the word! This music is loud, fast, and with the fiddles, accordians, and guitars, intensely up beat and stimulating! Yes, there is sadness here also. After all, it is gypsy music. But the energy displayed here will dispel any Monday morning depression for sure!The absence of English translations is a minus but certainly not big enough of one to knock off more than one star. If you are tuned in to the gypsy spirit, to the uninhibited zest for life though tinged with sadness, you can not go any better than this!
