Boban Markovic Orkestar ~ Boban i Marko ~ CD
Widely regarded as the premier Balkan Brass Band, this ensemble's music is at times somber and march-like (even reminiscent of Spanish Holy Week marches), at other times raucous and seemingly ready to careen out of control at any moment. But the arrangements are meticulously prepared and the performances air-tight. Exhilarating stuff.
