Description
third studio album by the funk band of the moment: koçani Orkestar!
?the ravished bride? is so far the band's strongest record, after the last work ?alone at my wedding,? that is a success, especially in the inglaterra and states united with the various covers of the group made by the feeling ?indie rock,? beirut, and also for the most varied interviews and joint performances they have done.
the songs themselves were being remixed by the most diverse artists such as señor coconut, animal collective, susheela raman and mercan dede, and the inclusion of one of the songs in the film borat provoked a greater global audience.
with introductions to other musical genres such as Latin sound with the track ?la llorona? (cantion from the mexico) and the pop sound of the balloons, counting on the presence of the guest guitarist of balkan beat box and boom pam: uri kinrot, counting on the production of the same producer of taraf of haidouks, zap mama and the konono No1, vincent kenis, the new album has everything to be a guaranteed success!
Artist
The Kočani Orkestar, one of the most innovative and original Balkan brass bands, comes from the city of Kočani (Kochani), in the Republic Of Macedonia. Founded by trumpet player Naat Veliov, the group has over the years undergone many line-up changes, yet has managed to maintain unaltered the freshness and spirit of its early years. After the departure of leader Naat Veliov and his brothers, Ismail Saliev (alto sax and vocals) is heading the ensemble.
The Orkestar's musical style, described in their region as Romska Orientalna Musika ('Oriental Gypsy music'), combines a variety of influences: traditional dance music from Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Turkish/Bulgarian rhythms (including characteristic asymmetrical time signatures such as 7/8, 9/8 etc), elements of rumba and salsa, and even Indian film music. True to the multicultural, multilingual nature of the Balkans, it contains lyrics in Macedonian (Slavic), in Romani (a Gypsy language, related to Hindi), and in a Turkish dialect spoken by the Gypsy community of Kočani.
