Tribecastan is a country without borders tucked away in a corner of downtown Manhattan. This country of the mind is home to Uighur mountaineers and Croatian zookeepers. Drum and fife corps march alongside Slovakian shepherds with six-foot-tall pipes and Indonesian scales warp rock mandolins. Their CD Strange Cousin captures the ancient future of this imaginary land where Swedish nykel-harpas and Pakistani taxi horns can live together harmoniously both in peace and mayhem.
