Label - Bulgarian Culture Center, New York

Seriously lubricated gypsy punk from the last bastion of true exiled Balkan spirit: New York City's Bulgarian Bar MEHANATA, somewhere near Canal Street and Broadway NYC. Famous for its cheap wood panelling upstairs.

Compilation based around a restaurant, bar, club in New York. Featuring these finest New York bands:
Balkan Beat Box, Dolomites, Gogol Bordello, Guignol, Hungry March Band, J.U.F., Luminescent Orchestrii, Romashka, Shaat’nez, Slavic Soul Party!, Yuri Yunakov, Zagnut Cirkus Orkestar.

"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."
