Customer Reviews:
A beautiful Balkan tour
For those who appreciate Balkan music, this album is a “must have.” These talented musicians grew up within the cultures they sing about and they not only listened to their teachers, but also bring spirit and verve to the music that is seldom encountered. There is a pan-Slavic structure to the album–a blend of Serbo-Croatian love songs, brisk kolo/dance numbers, and spirited Rom melodies–all executed with enthusiasm and precision. There’s no filler in this one; it’s all great music. Incidentally, you don’t need to know the language to appreciate and dance to this music, but for those interested in learning about what they are listening to, the band has thoughtfully supplied the original lyrics and an English translation.
Ciganine (Sviraj)
This CD is currently at the top of my favorites list, right along with "One to Remember" (also by Sviraj). Each of these performers is a virtuoso in his own right, and they combine to produce one of the best musical "highs" I have ever experienced. The singing is particularly exquisite–they have as close to a perfect blend as I have ever heard. The virtuosity of the performances is never for mere display or "showing off"–the brilliance of the playing always complements and enhances, rather than overwhelms, the meaning of the songs. It is not necessary to understand the languages being sung, as the meaning comes across so clearly through the performances. I can’t recommend this CD highly enough–and I would also go anywhere to hear this band play!
Sviraj! Ciganine
Their passion, enthusiasm and love of their music is obvious! I treat myself daily to Ciganine and have been to some wonderful places in my heart while listening to their voices and strings. I would walk anywhere in this world to attend a live performance.
one of the greatest CD’s that I own
We heard this group for the first time in July of 2000. Played the CD and have it in my favorites stack. Very entertaining. I would travel all over the USA and Canada to hear this group
