I'm on a roll, savvy? ;)

Guess what? I wasn't done finding new music. Here's today's discovery: Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra, which recently changed its name to Barcelona Gipsy balKan Orchestra. The group consists of musicians from Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Serbia and Ukraine. To call their music "multicultural" is a glorious understatement.:) They not only use a variety of traditional instruments, but perform a number of very old songs in languages that are no longer in use. Which, of course, hits the spot for my inner linguistic geek.:P As if that wasn't enough all by itself, I totally just developed a crush on the vocalist, Sandra Sangiao. Just watching her sing is almost as engaging as listening to the music. So, without further ado, here's a sample:

And in case you're wondering what language that song is in... it's Albanian.:)
