Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Road of the Gypsies is an indispensable first stop on any excursion into the world of Gypsy music. The two CDs contain 32 tracks from many of the greatest names in Gypsy music and cover the whole spectrum, from the Middle East through Romania, Hungary, and France and down to Spain. Eloquent liner notes detail the history, migration and cultural impact of this "invisible nation" and its music. The impeccable music selections echo this theme, kicking off with the late Cameron, flamenco's greatest voice, singing the poetry of Federico García Lorca, but accompanied by sitar. Elsewhere Taraf de Haidouks (Romania), Charcoal Gypsies (Egypt), and Bratsch (France) illustrate the enormous variety in the genre, with its many subdivisions such as the rom, manouche, and flamenco styles, all very distinct. Echoes of Django Reinhardt, himself a Gypsy, can also be heard in the French jazz guitar styles of Titi Winterstein. Gypsy music inspired Cervantes, Bartók, and even Beethoven and serves as an invisible thread in the quilt of European and Middle Eastern musical traditions. This is an astonishing glimpse of a culture carried in the musical brilliance of a forgotten people. --Derek Rath

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-lived lives in every song, July 4, 2002
By Martin E. Stein (Palo Alto, Princeton, and abroad) - See all my reviews
Even if you can't find this collection on Amazon, seek this one out. If you already know gypsy music, you'll strike gold here. If you don't know gypsy music... this is gut-wrenchingly powerful stuff, a wide range of folk music that could only have come out of the historical cauldron of Southeastern Europe. The sounds here range all the way from the firey brass band jazz of the Balkans to smokey, soulful diva-like trances (think Cesaria Evora or Edith Piaf) from the Paris Hot Club tradition. You'll savor every performance here. Bonus -- the best available version of Bjelo Dugme leader Goran Bregovic's "Ederlezi," which you might remember from the powerful Yugoslav movie, Time of the Gypsies. Bravo to Network for putting this series out
