Russian Gypsy Soul

Tienda When the Gypsies arrived in Russia in the late 1700s, their wild, extravagantly emotional music created an immediate sensation in the royal court, and from then on Gypsy music has been an integral part of Russian cultural life. The two-CD set, Russian Gypsy Soul, features the wide variety of musical styles played by Russian Gypsies, including the fiddling of Sergei Erdenko of Loyko, the choral singing of the Siberian Gypsies, and the guitar playing of Kolpakov, who uses a traditional Russian seven-string guitar. The Gypsies have a reputation for being a passionate people, and the emotional fire in selections like "Shuryaki," a rousing drinking song by Jelem, or "Yegorushka," a moving farewell lament from Ilo, shows that their reputation is well deserved. Many of the artists here have never been heard outside of Russia, but all of the musicians deliver performances of the highest caliber, and many of the instrumentalists play at the virtuoso level. Russian Gypsy Soul is an excellent introduction to a body of music that has been unheard outside of Russia for too long. --Michael Simmons
