Opa Hey!

Interpreter: Kottarashky
Label: Asphalt Tango Records
Location: Bulgaria

A magpie-trawl through Bulgarian/Balkan music heritage, assembled into a digital patchwork quilt in coontemporary fashion by Kottarashky. This is the soundtrack to a nighttime wander round the bars and clubs of Sofia - here some obscure field recordings, there a segue into Fanfare Ciocarlia, bumping into Jony Iliev in the next port of call, spotting Mitsou in the distance - a psychedelic trip into the 21st century Balkan digital backwoods.
