5.0 out of 5 stars Good, modern Romanian gypsy music in the traditional style, January 5, 1999

Don't let the egotistical title turn you off... it is close to the truth. An example of a living tradition-- stylistically, Romanian gypsy music, but no museum-piece musicologist recording. Most enjoyable. I was introduced to this album by a friend in Paris who studies Romanian and other South Slavic music. Musicianship and interpretation are excellent; recording quality good. Relatively easy on western ears. If you are interested in Gypsy music, South Slavic music or world music in general, very highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the title is true?, April 11, 2000

This puts all those supposed "Gipsy Things" to shame. Here is a raw, rootsy, rough voiced artist who presents genuine Romani "blues" without a hint of pandering to the current fads.

If not the greatest, he's so close as to not matter. Sometimes the hyperbole is true!
