For all those who love real folk, there is a sheer joy in store. As well as for all those who love real live records. As well as for all those who love real acoustics, i.e. unplugged. But, I think, the most expressed smiles will be on faces of all those who consider that the folk both is and should be the most synthetic, perhaps, eclectic direction of music development. In the sense that all real folk melodies of the world have the same common roots. And, consequently, these melodies can be combined, overlapped, mixed, considered and launched in parallel – and it will always contain harmony and joy. Actually, this is exactly what happens now – the Lviv band "Burdon" represents their first album, "Re: Carpathia". On it, you can here modern ethnic music from absolutely different Carpathian areas and corners – Ukrainian, Romanian, Magyar traditions are combined here. Moreover, here "Burdon" also incorporates old songs of smaller ethnic groups – Chango, Lemky, Rusyny, Boiky and Huzul ones. The mosaic that results is as bright as deep – "Burdon" once again opens the beauty of old music virtually lost for large audiences. And, at the same time, throws a tank of oxygen into the flame of modern folk – let it burn brightly and not die away...

...with their own example the group perfectly demonstrates that serious sense of humor can lead far enough. It has already brought Sontseklyosh to a very tight concert schedule, wide recognition in not that really narrow circles, and now – to the second album as well. The album, believe me, is cool...

The familiar melodies will arise in an updated, sometimes unexpected form, unknown ones will have a chance not to be forgotten. Folk songs in the style of Mad Heads XL, the sound is based on modern ska-punk without clear style limits. Positive, good moods and frantic drive – all the best from Mad Heads XL now in folk songs!

"Integro" sounds very prudent, balanced – there is something special that makes it an album, and a strong one, not a collection of colorful pictures. As a flower that suddenly opens up in the middle of the night and – darkness becomes transparent, the air – cool and fragrant, and thoughts – pure...

In its previous album "Pokosy", ShockolaD stepped away from jazz for an almost safe distance – the key definition of the work would be "ethno-lounge". Well, and this time the group seems to have decided to remix all familiar ingredients – both the ethno, and jazz, and acoustic lounge – and, sure, to season it with a few new colors.

On the one hand, everything is simple – it contains both a rich instrumental component, and the ethno-jazz-rock mixture with the psychedelic aftertaste, and, certainly, the magic seasoning of ancient language. On the other hand – everything is also simple: the soul was invested here, one can hear this – and, maybe, that is why the music penetrates so deeply...

...the album "Free" resembles that very puzzle, an element of mosaics that was lacking in order that the picture became integral, completed. It – disregarding, let me repeat it, the status of the debut one – seems to sum up some results, outline the visible and known space and, thus, free space for a step forward.

Is the studio version different from the concert one? No doubt. Without disclosing all secrets, it is enough to say that it remains up to date to go beyond one language and one culture. In my opinion, the album represents the Ukrainian music, but the music which is done by the new generation. It is the product of the new world. The entire world.

First I listened to the Ojra’s records somewhere at the end of 90-ties, yet then it was the attempt to join the archaic and the up-to-date. The staff of the group changed several times since then, and they didn’t give up to search. Of course, a variety of creative paths they made gave its outcome: one of the best, I think, neo-folk records of all Ukrainian discography of the recent years.

..here, "On the Verge" – the force of water is revealed very perceptibly, magic of quite a different level appears, intended for other purposes. That is, the first works were just to burn everything old, not able to live on – to clear the space. The new work – must feed the new, fresh relying on those roots that did not subdue to the action of fire. That verge from which creation of the new myth..

In its foundation, the idea was simpler and defined as "ethno-cabaret" – that is, folk songs decorated with a music mix from any sorts of styles. Conditionally speaking, from northern dub to oriental blues. And as a result they conducted skilful retro-styling for NEP times (the New Economic Policy), that is for around the 1920s. And what appeared then – was a bomb.

This belongs to the genre of "evolved folk music" - that is, it is not played like a field recording, but makes a sincere (and in this case very successful) attempt to keep the vitality and "sense of the local" that the best traditional music has. They see Carpathian music as part of a spectrum and carry that vision to its logical, and most vigorous conclusion. In this they are right up there with the Orkiestra św. Mikołaja, no mean feat. By the way, the sound is extraordinary for a release of this kind- beautifully recorded and engineered.

Приєднуюсь до всіх попередніх висловлювань.
Я вперше "вживу" їх почула на "Країні Мрій-2007" - враження залишились такими ж чудовими.

Відколи вперше почув Бурдон (а то вже є більше року) і донині вважаю гурт одним з найнайкращих! Насправді ніхто з тих, кого можна зараз чути на сцені не має такого насправді живого виконання карпатської музики. В їхній музиці присутня та пломениста душа, котра змушує радісно битися серце і сповнює його щирим натхненням!!!

На загальному тлі фанатичної моди на автентику, якою щедро прикрашають всі - попса, рокери, панки - ці люди виглядають фантастично щиро, правдиво і безпосередньо. Деякі пісні з альбому я чув в суто вокальному виконанні на "рідних" для цих пісень теренах, і легкі аранжування, додані в цьому альбомі, тільки додають загального драйву, що присутній для Карпатської музичної культури. Акустика цервки св. Лазаря, на мою думку, тільки додала соку і барвистості.

Brilliant! This band deserves a lot more exposure, would love to hear them live in the U.K. The music is as authentic as possible and suffers from none of the kitsche sounds which folk music so often unfortunately degenerates into. Album of the year for me ( already! ).

Почула перший раз "Бурдон" на фестивалі "Ту стань" восени 2006 р., музика просто заділа за живе. Шукала диск в музичних магазинах Одеси, але не знайшла. Тому дуже зраділа, що він є у вас магазині. Отримала справжнє задоволення від прослуховування.

You are so Romanian! You don't even now how Romanian you are. When I heared for the first time Romanian authentic music, is when I listened to csango, and Moldavian music, and Zdop si Zdup, a moldavian band. You should sing with Zdop si Zdup.
