Emily's Albums A to Z

Listened: Tuesday October 5

Occasionally Amazon gives away random non-mainstream albums for free. Having visited Croatia and the Balkan region before, and being a fan of the neo-gypsy music craze, I jumped at the chance to get Music of Croatia for free.

I knew nothing about the artists on the album (I’ve since read up on them on Wikipedia, if I could find English-language articles), but they seem to span older styles of Croatian music to modern-day examples. There’s rock, reggae, octet acapella, and very traditional-sounding instrumental songs. It’s quite catchy and does fulfill the need for Gypsy Soundz.
