Gypsy dance explosion: New York underground style rhythms from MEHANATA Bulgarian Bar

notes

"If your heart and your libido are still connected, these artists will electrify that wire. Some of this music was written personally by Orpheus, the Thracian song god who made the people dance and the mountains purr (and howl). The intelligence of soul and the moan of beasts are made one here, with orgasmic consequences."
Andrei Codrescu, author of "Wakefield", NPR commentator

Answer arguments with tapan. Balkanize Manhattan's grid. Cocek against architecture. Decriminalize sacrilege. Empty your ears from the structures of everyday life. Fly in the face of orthodoxy (musical or political). GitanoAmerica. Headbang phenomenology of phobias. Is tomato soup really thicker than blood? "Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?" Knock on wood (9/8). Liquefy rhythm, lubricate hierarchy, listen to noise. Mythologize your mama's stories with a brass section. Never follow (follow Tcherniya Ram to the smooth space above the colored ribbons and clouds of the Chrysler building). Opre Roma, Sastipe Gadje. Proto-Babylon, Canal-&-Broadway style.Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'un pizdetz? Revolutions are not broadcast by speakers. Speak in tongues (Albanian, Aramaic, English, Hebrew, Romani, Russian, Ukranian), stick a feather in you ass. Translate, recycle, mix-and-match. Underground could mean the second floor? Viva la vida. Water with wine. Xenomorphosis in a dj set. Yatta gaidjin. Zingari Mesh Mundial.

    author: Karen Pollard

    This was awesume!!! I shared it with my Belly Dance Class and they LOVED it!!! FUN CD!! I can't stop talking about it. I would by more and give them as gifts. Once again I LOVED IT!

  • Mehanata Mix Rocks
    author: Good Times!

    This CD is great for anyone who loves gypsy music with a twist. It is a great introduction to many groups that get you out of your seat and dancing in just a few beats. It's really great!!!!

  • FUN!
    author: NancyY

    I especially LOVE "Shimdiggy" (Romashka), "Adir Adirim" (Balkan Beat Box) and "Taraf Hijacked" (Luminescent Orchestrii).

    If you need something to get yourself moving and get your blood flowing, then the Mehanata mix is it!

  • Amazing!
    author: Andres

    This compilation is awesome! I totally recomend people to get it. I just love eastern europen music. Thanks CD BABY for having such and awesome variety of music we don't get anywhere else.

  • LOVE IT
    author: Super Duper!

    I absolutely love this cd, it's been in my player ever since I got it, about three months ago! The beats, instuments, and words are unlike anything you've ever heard, which makes it fascinating. Unless you speak about ten other languages, you will not know everything the artists are singing. Some is in English but for me the foreign words sound beautiful and keeps the songs new and fresh. All of my adult friends love it as well, its very romantic, sort of, and fun, and the kids I babysit for can't get enough. I'm not saying its a total kids album, but almost anyone can listen to it and love it!

  • kick-a$$!
    author: allie

    Compilation is incredibly diverse, vivid, and fun. Can't stop listening...bought this after a night at Mehanata and every time I hear it, it's like I'm right back!

  • Great Music!
    author: Dimitris

    this comp is great. i only knew gogol bordello (and that was the reason for buying it) but i loved all the other artists too. a really great gypsy music speciment. if i'm ever in new york i would want to come to this bar for sure! keep it going!

  • Instant Party!
    author: Lydia

    This CD is an instant party... just add people! Music From The Bulgarian Bar is a seriously insane collection of the premier gypsy/world/punk/slavic/klezmer/techno/marching band/wedding band groups. It's great if you are just getting into this type of music and don't know where to start, OR if you are a seasoned vet of these genres and just can't get enough!

  • Great fun, a fabulous party album
    author: George Robinson

    A generous selection of NY downtown ethnic bands and musics, a great party album and terrific fun. Should send listeners downtown to the bar itself, which is also pretty wild.

  • great
    author: gabriella pollonini

    Finally a perfect collection, you just feel to start dancing like in the Bulgarian Bar. ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!!!!!!!!
