2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing CD after hearing concert
I bought this CD after hearing a Boban Markovic concert. The concert was pretty good and the music had a lot of energy and even some melody. This CD is not like the concert - the beats are not great for dancing and the melodies are just not there. For the fans of Boban Markovic, I'm sure this is a great CD but for others it might be an acquired taste.

This review is from: Promise (Audio CD)
Boban Markovic, "The King of Balkan Brass", and his ten-member Orkestar, Serbia's leading brass band, have won numerous awards over the past ten years at the annual Guca Brass Band Festival. The Promise - The King of Balkan Brass is their latest music CD album, featuring Boban's original music accompanied by Markovic's talented, trumpet-blowing son Marko. The Promise is Boban Markovic's first all-studio production, and like his previous albums, is solidly rooted in Gypsy folk tunes. A lively, toe-tapping musical experience that transcends borders with its sheer enthusiasm and vivacity. English text information is included. 55 min.

This review is from: Promise (Audio CD)
This album is beyond incredible. I don't really know what else to say, except that if you get it, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars southern serbian sounds, January 3, 2007
This review is from: Promise (Audio CD)
This is one of my favorite cds, it reminds me of serbian weddings and celebrations, with such a unique sound. That brass just puts you in such a good mood and makes you want to dance and shake. Boban is such a master and the rythms are fantastic. If you want to discover the tru sound of southern Serbia, this is it.
