RE: New Bulgarian Macedonian recordings

Esma is a singer. She has a band which backs her made up of trumpet, clarinet, drum, and accordion. All of the instrumentalists are male. I won't go into the gender politics, but in general, in the Balkans, singers are female and instrumentalists are male.

She is Rom. She and her late husband, Stevo Teodosievski, started a school for orphans in Macedonia where they raise and "train" the kids in music. She's a "superstar" in Macedonia...kind of like a big rock star here.

All in all, ANYTHING by Esma and her groups is FABULOUS!!!

Happy Clarineting!

Katrina
