Download Various - Tzigane album

Review by Stevning Heather

Tzigane is a captivating album that showcases the beauty and diversity of Gypsy music. Featuring various artists from around the world, the album offers a rich tapestry of sounds, from traditional Romani melodies to contemporary interpretations of the genre.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Djelem Djelem," a classic Romani anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other highlights include "Gipsy Song" by the Hungarian band Romano Drom, which features lively accordion and violin solos, and "Kolo" by the Serbian group Kal, a fast-paced dance tune that will get your feet tapping.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Saraiman," a hauntingly beautiful song by the Romanian singer Maria Tanase. Her soulful vocals are backed by a simple yet effective arrangement of guitar, accordion, and percussion, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that is both nostalgic and melancholic.
