LW> I was VERY surprised to hear a bass guitar on essentially all of the tracks. While the general musicianship is excellent, I think the bass guitar detracts from the traditional nature of the music that the album proports to represent. |

LW> This is part of a very interesting 6 CD collection of tunes that were recorded in the town of Bardovci in December 2005. This is not a re-issue of old recordings and the musicians and singers are well known thoughout Macedonia. Over all, the collection is quite nice, but not "gripping". |
