Yours truly continues to ride the Balkan express and this time it took us to Milan in the North of Italy, where we found the motley crew of Figli Di Madre Ignota. For regular visitors of these pages that name might already ring a bell, because a number of tracks by Figli Di Madre Ignota were included on the Balkan Beats compilations. From a musical point of view the sound of this ensemble is the ideal soundtrack to a touring freak show from the first half of the last century. The music of Figli Di Madre Ignota ("son of an unknown mother", a name given to foundlings in Italy) is a roller coaster of rockabilly, surf, charleston, orientalism (see also the great artwork of the album) and of course Balkan brass.
