Russian-Ukrainian Gypsy traditionals 18th century style... outstanding record of Kolpakov trio, lead by the hero of authentic art... sacred shit...

Fantastic raw record of Roumanian Gypsy music including Nicalae (recently passed away) from Taraf de Haidouks... He was the King...

...the usual, you know... the best rock record ever fucking made!

Romanian gypsy music for a wild fucking party, psycho speed and fire that any real rocker will dig... forever amazing.

Not some fucking geek world music, but compilation of most bewitching Bulgarian traditional music documented in 1920s and 1930s.

Great on any social occasion...

Lead by Goima (ex-backbone of Ando Drom and general ambassador of gypsy camp arts), new formation of Hungarian Roma musicians… powerhouse voice, except for few over polished tracks--amazing…

Soundtrack to a same-titled film by E. Kusturica, great tracks with musicians from best Balkan Gypsy Brass bands of Boban Markovitch and Romanian Fanfare Ciocarlia... overplayed in Europe and Russia, but still ready to be discovered in Amerika... great kicking record...

Macedonian Gypsy brass, great and super good... not as aggressive as Fanfare, but more shuffley and with much beauty in it..

Brazil Batucada Punk crossover hardcore.

You may also enjoy brothers from Latin America Front: Grand Silencio and Molotov, as well as Disminguet from Spain, as well as Basque punk veteran Fermin Muguruza...

Soundtrack to film by Tony Gattlif with some of the best Flamenco you'll ever hear...

Turkish Dancehall Gypsy fuck songs

Full of innovation and search socio-political punk hip hop dub...

On-U Sound, Produced by Adrian Sherwood, fucked up disco dub

Classic album of a legendary Siberian punk band. "Early in the morning I’ll get in line to Lenin's Mavsoleum... Necrophilia! My poor exhausted Necrophilia!" Not many bands in Russia bollsed out like this before the new times got solidly established... Great over distorted shit-punk sound with teeth drilling guitar Metal Urbaine style...

Underground pain-stricken straightforward punk rock from Kazakhstan

Surely one of the best records that came out in latest years to rejuvenate and confirm post punk multi culti powers... Perhaps needs no introduction nowhere, not even in Antarctica, but in USA...

Jewish traditionals in deep experimental dub... or vice versa... very good, produced by J. Zorn.

Great early 80s electro punk, very much unlike electro-crap you hear this days.

Some seriously crucial shit...

Multi-purpose dancehall for frontiersmen and frontierswomen of the 21st century, a hard core trip into creative laboratory of Izraeli-Ukrainian hang formerly known as Gypsy Jews or Immi-Core... with influences from Gogol Bordello to dub, rai and reggaton... full-on voice of new NY underground.

Eugene Hütz first band in the US... Ethno-punk-hard-core... ridiculous, what the fuck kind of shit...

Do not confuse with later mainstream album 'Agroromantica' Moldavian Hardcore. Very good.

Excellent acoustic Transylvanian classic...

The band is from Hungary... But it's rapid fire of Balkan brass mayhem with arrangements leaning towards rock, perhaps the fucking wildest record of the Balkan Gypsy kind and one of the best in dancehall scene as well... Great.... Crazy like no fucking joe party musica-agressia!!!

Their first and perhaps their best album with a magic touch of Fedorov of Auktzion as a producer...

Four great records that will start you off with this merry bunch of greatest characters... unless already even your mom knows it by the heart...

NYC punk funk jazz classic record of super nicely perverted psychotic dance-muzon.

Spit in the eye of anyone who forgot this record...

Most of their albums absolutely rock and will get you on a good foot with a whole direction of Counter Kulti bands... La Negresses Vertes, Mau Mau...

Found on tour, Austrian Samorodok of Ethno-punk. Not a high energy band or anything, more like chewing tobacco kind of feel, totally repetitive as fucking hell garage ragga with accordion sung in a rural Austrian dialect, but all together kind of pretty funny... as a matter of fact memorable... even possibly phenomenal! ...especially some good tracks including Boban Markovitch, who by the way is one of the Kings of Balkan Gypsy Brass. Available through a great German label TRIKONT!

Especially the first 3 records...

Shockingly good live recording of Taha's Arabski Rock... Perhaps most likely carefully crafted in the studio.

Compilations of Raï singers at its pre-commercial stage. Including Khaled

Cosmic energy driven Rasta hard-core with hyena squeals, prophetic vibe and bouts of most lucid insanity...

No accurate info on this recording... but it's a strange EP from around 1983 full of great tracks and irresolvable tension... very addictive... anyhow you know these people...

People who enjoy great characters like Tom Waits and Paolo Conte perhaps are bound eventually to stumble upon this freak brother from Brazil

Fantastic compilation of Sicilian and Napoli street and folk songs in beautiful authentic sound...

Legendary musician from Estonia, leader of Ne Zdali... The title describes the album accurately enough... Surrealistic delirious take on some well known Russian, Gypsy and Klezmer tracks, but without stupid kind of a kitsch and without compromising the energy... good!

Again somebody we found through touring, very energetic Balkan metal with experiments all over it, in direction of early Zdub si Zdub...

With Andalusian Arabic orchestra... Opium induced flamenco with massive rhythm, great for any harem reopening celebration...

Two very good records with amazing electric sound... No introduction necessary...

The classic and a classic...

Live from CBGB, great, good and fantastic... with 'I Can't Swim' version that sure to make you seasick...

...it never goes away...

Thirty minute long Arabic epics on coke performed by queen of Arabic music world Oum Kalthoum , recorded with massive orchestra and audience, very hypnotizing at times... or plain exhausting... happens too...

From Mocvara (great club in Zagreb) compilation. New Belgian great experimental band, some seriously fucked up Cubano punk, again found on tour when in Croatia... Brilliant...

Cult classic of Ukrainian underground, surrealistic avant-garde punk... Grotesque music and Khlebnikov-like wordplay that leads into the genius mind of the leader Vasily Goidenko...

Another great Ukrainian Maniac band that could flip James Chance out, super inventive 4 piece with skitzo-bouts... Birthday party on coke!

Inventors of own sound, industrial folk with atmosphere of restless constant search... featuring D.J. Derbastler on bass!

Still haven't listened to it...
