This review is from: Unblocked: Music of Eastern Europe (Audio CD)

This set of discs is a brilliant compilation of folk music. All selections are played and sung with great feeling, all are authentic, some are accompanied by instruments which are unknown to us and near extinction, some have rhythms that defy time signatures. Really beguiling stuff.

Three discs that provide a moving sample of the patchwork quilt of Eastern European folk music. The booklet is well put together and detailed. Worth the $$.
