Carnival Conspiracy: In The Marketplace All Is Subterfuge is an exciting music CD that brings together over forty musicians from eight countries on four continents for a grand musical travelogue of Brazilian-Mexican-Yiddish songs of love, angst, and just plain fun and dance. Featuring seven songs in Yiddish, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Ashkenazic Hebrew as well as five instrumental pieces, English text information, and a re-invention of "carnivalesque" music theme, Carnival Conspiracy is an album filled with modern Brass Band spirit as surely as ancient rhythms and traditions. A toe-tapping irresistible beat threads through this lively musical celebration. 59:28 minutes.

When nothing else works, grab this Klezmer CD.
Soon you'll be dancing on your grave and spitting in the Devil's eye.

Look everybody knows these little "customers" reviews are useless on a good day. Take it from the tuba player, this is a killer recording for wonderful music.

From Smother Magazine - www.smother.net:

The first Jews in North America came via boat from Brazil to New York some 350 years ago. Frank London celebrates this anniversary with the release of his zany album filled with Brazilian carnival traditions and the street sounds of brass bands and Klezmer. Shockingly celebratory the album boasts some of the best brass musicianship that I've ever heard. On the album you'll hear Yiddish that turns into Spanish, traditional Klezmer that morphs into something out of Eastern Europe or Mexican bar. It's weird, off-kilter, and completely unique-precisely the recipe for my undying love.

This is a fun CD to listen to. My only complaint is that the liner notes should provide more details about each song. I'm looking forward to Frank London's next.
