to both the musicians and their collaborators and informants. More, please!"

the review
some quotes;
"I still do not believe that they're
from Australia. The vocals are just to authentic and the musicians
seem to know what their doing. The best Balkan cd from outside the
Balkan I can think of!" Eelco Schilder
" I heard some of your music on triple j a while back, and I think I need it to live." Tim
"I like your interpretation of Romani
song Ushti, Ushti Baba and I am happy to inform you that I have putted
your song like example under the link Songs and Lyrics at my website
www.galbeno.co.yu . To be honest it is very rare , almost never,
when I can say it's good interpretation of Romani music if non-Roma
band are playing that I mean if band out of Romani "ghetto" playing
that." Dusan Ristic
