The Gypsy Road stretches from Rajasthan, India to Andalusia, Spain and beyond, but it is the Balkan countries of Eastern Europe that are home to the largest Rom populations. Often scape-goated and caught in the middle of the twentieth century's worst injustices, from Belgrade to Bucharest to Skopje the Rom have had a profound impact on Balkan culture and music. Throughout the region, Gypsy music is Balkan music, transcending borders and ethnicities: energetic brass bands, violin and cimbolom virtuosos and captivating voices, The Rough Guide To The Music Of Balkan Gypsies has it all.

O compositor e contrabaixista num registo inédito e a solo, ao piano. Não prima pelo virtuosismo, mas é interessante ouvir as soluções que um compositor não-pianista apresenta.

Lajkó Félix was born in Yugoslavia (Vojvodina - northern Serbia) on December 17th in 1974. He started playing the zyther when he was 10 and won all the possible prizes in this category in Yugoslavia and Hungary. He first had a violin in his hand when he was 12, and has finished the six years of musical school in three years time. He has then finished his formal studies and turned towards concerting. Played jazz with Dresch Quartett (H), contemporary music with the Hungarian piano composer and player Szabados György and was a member of the Ensemble Ritual Nova of Boris Kovac. Has performed with Romanian born, London based Alexander Balanescu. Has played in Budapest, Prague, Berlin, Belgrade, Paris, Bordeaux, Frankfurt, Edinbourgh, Tokyo, Bratislava, Venice, Verona, Wuppertal and Monte Carlo. In 2001, Félix has played at the world famous theatre festival of Avignon and the most prestigious Theatre de la Ville in Paris and has had a very warm welcome at the Pina Bausch Festival in Wuppertal.
'I had heard that Lajko is regarded with awe in the Balkans, but was still unprepared for the impact of hearing and seeing him at such close quarters.... he attacks his violin with such ferocity that broken threads cascade from his bow during each number. There is a tendency for Balkan musicians to fit into one of several generic categories – gypsy, folk, Klezmer, etc – but Lajko seems to have invented a style of his own, and any reference to existing genres would be misleading. Each of his instrumental songs had a clear structure, and yet each seemed open to the spirit of the moment.'

Último álbum de originais do trio de Boston, editado após o vocalista e compositor Mark Sandman falecer de ataque cardíaco no início de um concerto em Itália, no ano de 1999. Este álbum representa o sublinhar de uma nova sonoridade relativamente aos anteriores. É mais maduro e inovador e, infelizmente, sem sucessor. 0 1 2 - post by: kriska - @

Banda sonora da obra cinematográfica do realizador polaco Krzysztof Kieslowski que disseca o lema da república francesa “Liberté, Égalité. Fraternité” na trilogia Azul, Branco e Vermelho. Esta é uma obra chave do realizador polaco e a banda sonora está ao mesmo nível, com principal evidência no primeiro filme da trilogia, Bleu.

Um disco indispensável para quem aprecia MPB. Trata-se da gravação de um concerto na Baía em 1972 onde se juntaram os dois compositores, numa altura em que ainda era difícil existir sob a sombra da censura. Caetano Veloso visitou-nos há bem pouco tempo e Chico Buarque virá em breve apresentar o seu novo álbum, Carioca, no início de Novembro. A não perder.
