"Arc Music has distinguished itself once again by creating a CD filled with beautiful vocals and extraordinairy music. The music of Croatia is rich and diverse. The Zagreb Folk Dance Ensemble provides the colorful harmonics, chord progressions and unusual rhythmic structure of the melodies for which this region is known. Each stringed instrument: brac, bugarija, bisnerica and berde, adds its own unique ornamentation to this wonderful regional folk music. The musical vibrations and waves make me want to dance and improvise a kolo across the dance floor. There is a slight Turkish influence due to the 150 or so years when the Ottoman empire ruled. One can taste the Slivotiz brandy by just listening ...! Erika Borsos (erikab93)"

The Best of , that is for certain!

"Althoug the ZFDE is a dance group, the singing and playing here is also incredible.Top versions for LADARKE, TAMO PREKO DRAVE and REPA.

With LADO this group is the best in Croatia.
