No Strings Attached by Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

The intricate rhythms and unusual time signatures of Balkan music are intimidating or distancing to some audiences, which retreat to more conventional fare when faced with 7/8 time signatures and syncopated drumming. Those who don't warm to this music when presented with the chime and twang of the traditional tamburitza ensemble may find this recording more to their liking. The brass band tradition is an old one, from the days when Austria ruled much of the area, and the Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band is an accomplished group. The bright and highly varied tones of the horns make the counterpoint more evident to listeners unfamiliar with the style, and the energy and charm of the performances will do the rest. This band is a virtuoso unit, a fact more remarkable when you consider that all of the members are Americans who have no grounding in the Slavic traditions. Nevertheless they make this energetic dance music sound great, and their enthusiastic renditions may well lead newcomers to a greater interest in Eastern European music. Those who are interested in learning more will appreciate the detailed liner notes, which do much to explain both the structure of the music and the history of individual tunes. No Strings Attached is an excellent introduction to this type of music, as well as a joy for those who already like Balkan music. ~ Richard Foss
