#2851: The Eastern European Influence

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
Hear some works from Western (and perhaps a few Eastern) musicians inspired by the often odd-metered dances and laments of Eastern Europe on this New Sounds program. The brassy Balkan beats of Romashka together with their Lithuanian-born singer draw on gypsy and folk music from Russia, Romania and the Balkans for a downtown blast of madness. We’ll hear something from them, along with music from the Canadian-Ukranian musicians Paris To Kyiv, and the Serbian, Macedonian, Bulgarian –American band Zlatne Uste (Golden Lips), as well as prog-folk from the Slovene group Katalena. Plus new music based on ancient Turkish makams from Edward Hines, music by Les Miserables Brass Band, and more.
