I've got to know this CD about one month ago, and from that moment on, I've not stopped to listen at it! It's incredible how Oi Va Voi mix different styles into a music that is completely different from any other thing I've listened till now.
It's jazz, electronic, ethnic, klezmer played as a "whole music" that makes you go far away and greatly breath!

As soon as I found out KT Tunstall was on this album, I had to buy it. Later on I found out that Sophie Solomon was on this album as well, so another bonus! Not being familiar with Oi va Voi, I was somewhat taking a gamble. But this cd showcases the vibes of world music, particularly of Jewish/Middle Eastern feel. Some of my favorite tracks are "Ladino song", "Refugee", and "Today's Mistakes."

Pure by chance I got across this CD. What makes this CD special for me is the mix of music styles it has. A first glance you might think it is just another group playing World Music. But by the third number I just stopped what I was doing and sat down to really listen. And every day I still play some part of the CD.
Strangly enough my favorit number at this time is the last number on the CD (no 10). It's not really a song but spoken text surrounded by music. And oh, there is a hidden number on the CD as well, after the last track just wait a minute or so.
