New from Boban i Marko Markovic * Devla

On the front lines of Piranha's incoming Balkan invasion, the Boban i Marko Markovic Orkestar make a full frontal assault with their brand new album "Devla: Blown Away to Dancefloor Heaven", available as of today worldwide as digital download. Above and beyond their usual audacious horn virtuosity, on "Devla" Boban and Marko are expanding the idioms of gypsy brass. Here, Marko scats ("Devla"), raps in Serbian and English ("Benim Gecem"), and even flirts with flamenco ("Kazi Baba") all while keeping true to tradition: the lightning-fast melodies, driving rhythms, and exuberant transcendence of the greatest Balkan brass bands. "Devla" features veteran singers like Rade Krstic ("Udre Mila") who Markovic lured out of his decades-long retirement, or Ljubia Stojanovic ("Kum Boemcina") dubbed "Louis" for his Balkan-flavored renditions of Louis Armstrong tunes and his love of jazz. There are rising stars like Bulgaria's Sofi Marinova ("Soske Sul Na avea") and hidden gems like Mustafa Abanovic ("Maruska"), a little-known idol of the Serbian gypsy scene. Devla showcases the melismatic and dramatic vocal stylings of these singers, adored at home but little known in the West; the best the Balkans have to offer. Physical releases will begin spreading out soon, so watch out for the CD in your country.
