Al Jawala

a great many excellent things arrive in an unexpected / accidental manner...like this creators of twisted, brilliant music, which I got to hear in a chilled-out evening such as only GreenHours in Bucharest can provide...

it had been a short while before hearing it when I was thinking that all the gypsy/east european/klezmer music I'd been listening to felt by now slightly dull, repetitive..

no more of that, because Al Jawala put it all in a huge pot, dressed it up with some funky beats, spiced it up with jazz-a-like inflexions and came up with a wicked new audio dish... add to all this, the occasional presence - along with drums, saxophone and bass - of a didgeridoo (not your average instrument in the east european music) and you know you're in for some wonderful experience..
