"The perfect soundtrack to a pit-stop in a Parisian "Boulangerie Paul" enjoying black coffee and a mille-feuilles, waiting for the evening train to the west of France about to enter Gare Montparnasse with rhythms from the Balkans. This is "modern" folk-music, blending various instruments, voices and languages."
