| | Balkanarama : Nonstop CD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05) |
 | | These are Americans who play the traditional or urban music of Bulgaria, Macedonia, or the Romani with the flair and improvisational abandonment of regional musicians! |
 | | At times Balkanarama stays well within the the boundaries of tradition, for example, "Krusevo abe pristigna" on "Nonstop" sung and played by Balkanarama sounds just like the original, sung by Vaska Ilieva, an icon of Macedonian folk music. |
 | | Other times they stretch the boundaries by adding unique embellishments, most often on the clarinet, alto sax, or violin, all the while staying true to the regional rhythm and melody. |
