I have a large folder at my HD entitled 'klezmer+balkan beats' - this sort of music is forever in my veins. There are a lot of bands acting in this field (I did not explore them all, stopped after I discovered some faves which is enough for me). Among them are: Boban Markovic Orkestar, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Emir Kusturica, Boom Pam, Bester Quartet. This is apparently what the genre looks like:
No way I can fit most tracks of the genre I admire, in one #threetunestuesday post. I just blindly selected three tracks that I hope you enjoy (and get acquainted with the artists).
A great klezmer band from Israel, from 2000-es. They were extremely dangerous and flammable in the days of their early career. One of the bands I'd extremely love to see live... but they never toured in Russia.
Speaking about Balkan beats, one could not ignore the person of Emir Kusturica, who is a huuuuuge man in this musical scene. This certain tune, I believe to be a traditional song - but Kusturica created a brilliant arrangement for it. Unofficial video (cut up from some old movie) is highly enjoyable thing which I always re-watch when I want to cheer myself up. I hope that it will bring you a lot of joy too. (Life is full of suffering... you need to compensate for it with something)
I prefer remix to original version. When you hear the very 1st sounds, your legs automatically start shaking and drag you to the dance floor!
In my opinion these are a rare exception to the overall rule 'They don't do it like that anymore! Lucky we. I hope you enjoyed today's music selection, and travelling around the globe without leaving the Hive. 😎 The post goes for Three Tune Tuesday challenge run by .
