BALKANARAMA: Balkanarama Live
 

Our first CD in four years comes by demand of the multi-ethnic audiences at our live shows. We played a dozen of our favorite songs late one night in front of a studio audience and recorded all the songs in one take -- we didn't add a note later, though we did remove applause to tighten the recording. Full-length CD (62:36) with complete lyrics and English translations for all songs. Good dance tempos. Available from CD Baby.

Black Sea
Released September 2002. Recorded at Seattle Drum School Studios, Seattle, May-June 2002.
 

"Their first album, Nonstop, features some great pan-Balkan music, but this new EP shows changes towards more electric arrangements without sounding like a pop band. The most electric track is “Entropy Time,” an original Balkan-style song with shattering guitar and soaring fiddle backing English vocals by the sweet voice of Eva Moon."

– Judith Gennett, Columbia Gypsy Music Archive
