Balkan Taksim - Disko Telegraf (album)

Balkan Taksim’s new album is a treat of Eastern European music

The 13 tracks don’t necessarily point to a clash of cultures, but more of an off-kilter, flavorful exploration as Sașa-Liviu Stoianovici sings in Romanian, Serbo-Croatian, Serbian South Slavic Torlakian and Aromanian Gramustean dialects. Not only that, but the duo also tinkers with traditional instruments such as the Romanian cobza, the Turkish elektro-saz and the Bosnian šargija. They enlisted French mastering engineer, Alex Gopher, famous for his work with Angèle and Clara Luciani.
