4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice overview of music old and new, April 29, 2003
This review is from: Rough Guide to the Music of the Balkans (Audio CD)
As a rule, I'm not that into Balkan and East European music, so it's to this collection's credit that I found it as interesting as I did. A large part of the attraction is the variety of styles on here, ranging from moderized cabaret crooning, pop tunes and bellydancing to the manic cymbalom instrumentals of Toni Iordache. Even if one style doesn't appeal to you, something else surely will -- to me, some of these songs sound a bit tedious, and an equal number are almost irresistibly perky and fun. Overall, a pretty high-quality selection!
