Synopsis

Album Description

Acoustic folk music of Macedonia. Recorded and produced entirely by Adam Good, a New York based musician (of HARMONIA and SIDESHOW) fascinated by Macedonian tambura, kaval and "Izvorno" (folk music) of Macedonia. Eastern melodies accompanied by meditative drones with quirky "odd meter" rhythms. Every track features Adam and special guests on folk instruments playing traditional tunes and original melodies in rhythms of the region.

CD Reviews

Magnificent!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As a macedonian, an avid listener and understander of macedonian folklore, and as a folk dance instructor and choreographer i am shocked at how well Adam Good and his team of american musicians were able to produce such an outsanding album. With the dynamic strumming of the "tambura" and the peaceful sounds of the "kaval" such relaxing and famous traditional melodies from macedonia and (some)bulgaria are created. this album has surpassed my expectations i have no regrets that i purchased it. I am inparticular fascinated by the way foreigners explore and express the culture i have grown up with...track 14 there is even singing in macedonian! Good is good."
