Traditional Balkan folk music played by accordion, violin, guitar, bass, and drums. All instrumental, very well played. Most feature varying tempos (typically mid and uptempo) and many are very good arrangements of melodies from various regions.
*1-3 These tracks are all very strong. Sets of dances, mostly mid/uptempo (w/lots of changes). Nice energy. Really good stuff.
4. Sweet & lightly bouncy. Mostly midtempo, picks up later. Nice.
*5. Slow and warm then bright & lively, a wedding dance/blessing.
*6. Bright, happy tune…mostly fast (w/slower bits). Good stuff.
7. Starts slow & stately, then it builds. Ultimately fast & busy.
8. Very fast, almost frantic. Very well played.
9. A folk tune that trips along picking up speed. Lively & happy.
*10. Like a crazy calliope. Fast, almost falling over itself.
11. More percussion than other tracks. Midtempo then faster.
12. Slower, dramatic use of strings/percussion. Then picks up.
*13. Too short. A happy, bouncy dance w/lots of energy.
