Yours truly was under the impression the popularity of the Balkan genre was already on the decline, but with the 'Balcanica!' compilation series, the Green Queen Music label gets the fire starting again. Purists may abstain, but for lovers of a bit of a cut and paste job this is sheer Balkan heaven. Of course the usual suspects can't be missing from the track list (Figli Di Madre Ignota, !Deladap, Balkan Beat Box, Shantel, Mahala Rai Banda...), but the compilation also has a whole host of lesser known names on offer for the listener to discover. We were most impressed by Feel Good Productions, a deejay duo from the North of Italy, who, as the compilers of these compilations, with as many as six songs spread over the two discs, certainly did not under-represent themselves.
