Inside World Music, CD Review >>
Hailing from Hungary, Besh o Drom performs traditional brass folk music. Various musical regions including Greece, Egypt, Lebanon, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, Armenia, Romania and Moldova, influence the many tracks. Amid the brass techniques, Latin jams, lounge jazz stylings, one can hear Hungarian vocals and a bit of Balkan rap. Instruments used include, darbuka, water can, percussion, alto saxophone, ney flute, guitar, cimbalom, trumpet, clarinet and bass guitar. However, Nekemtenemmutogatol! is an excellent album for fans of contemporary Hungarian and Balkan group folk music. Musical purists may cringe, but Besh o Drom successfully combines and adopts East European, North African and Middle Eastern folk music styles into a truly one-of-a-kind musical innovation that still possesses a basic foundation that is distinctly Hungarian. 11/01/03
