"This is a great mix of pop music styles from a time ('80s) and a place (Romani Spain).
This is the sound: blaring bands from a white-light night-time street party somewhere in Spain -- a little too close to a blazing bonfire -- where EVERYBODY is dancing: your friends, your grandma, your parents, kids and the whole damn' neighborhood besides. Definitely this record has a proud stripe of Spanish Romani heritage to it, with traditional cantaora vocals, fast, dark guitars, double-quick palmas and straight up passionate lyrics -- but stirred up with urban dance rhythms, disco, R&B, blues, funk and techno.
Interestingly...I'd say the songs have a dead giveaway hint of the pop-music 80s -- by way of Spain -- and are almost certainly from a decade or so earlier than the date on the CD. You just can't fake that unmistakable 80s-synth sound with patented drum-machine downbeat rhythms, no matter how hot the flamenco influence is...that, or this record is where all that classic equipment went when the 90s started! If that sound stirs good memories for you -- this will make you smile for sure.
Very cool stuff. It's a fun record, and kind of unusual, I think. Since the name and the cover might make it look like something staid, or traditional -- or like a hundred other vague pop-compilation CDs -- I wanted to make sure to give it a shout -- with plenty of Jaleo...Eso!!"

"I believe this is one of the iconic albums of its time. I don't believe there is a bad track on this album. Just put it in and hit play. Such a shame we were robbed of more music from this great band."

""An album full of haunting, stirring, compassionate, sardonic and dark beauty"
-Deiter Bajzek, Folk Alliance Australia
Iain Campbell Smith left the Australian festival circuit to work in the war-ravaged islands of the South Pacific, learning pidgin dialect, and writing songs in both English and Pidgin, to tell the stories of the people he worked with as they struggled to build trust and peace after a bitter war.
"A stunning marriage of ethereal poetry and hard nosed realism lyrically, with relentless rhythm and fragile, shimmering melody"
-Warwick McFadyen, The Age, Melbourne, Australia
"Bagarap Empires is an intelligent, compassionate and sardonic Australian's response to his experiences as a Peace Keeper in Bougainville and the Solomon Islands."
-Doug Spencer, Presenter, ABC Radio National"
