Product Description
Review
Germany's DJ Shantel is perhaps the most well-known of the Balkan converts. In interviews, Shantel, a former fixture of Germany's techno scene, details his musical change of heart with a candidness normally reserved for support group meetings.
He speaks of his frustration at years spent slavishly feeding Berlin's timeless appetite for techno, and how it was when he turned his attention to the music his grandmother had been so fond of - the distinctive sounds of the Bucovina region - that his music found a new direction.
Merging the anarchic energy of gypsy music with the reliable pulse of techno, Shantel's Bucovina Club project was a notable success, storming Europe's dancefloors and scooping the 'Club Global' award at last year's BBC Awards For World Music.
But, ever the enemy of complacency, Shantel's latest project waves a fond farewell to the Bucovina sound. Bucovina Club was, at heart, a techno record. Its goal was simply to make us dance. Disko Partizani has more sophisticated aims. It's a record which sees Shantel explore the true spirit of Balkan music, revelling in its emotional ambivalence and inquisitive flair.
A savvy Balkan record with strong commercial appeal. Once again, Shantel's bravery has been rewarded. --Robert Jackman

The fusion of the Balkan sounds with reggae and dub was just magic and the tent with 3.500 othre thought the same, it was banging just great craic
I also bought Buckovina club Vol 1 and 2 but thats more of an acquired pure balkan taste
Shantel has been able to collect a variety of music around the balkans and mixed it all in one CD while keeping intact the initial sound.
This CD will make you move and dance.
Very nice melodies.
I rate this CD with a 5 and I recommend it to all.
