Orkestina: "Transilvania Express" 

You don't have to be from a place in order to play music that is traditional in that place, and we never claimed we are from all the places we play music from. Anyway, tracks 1, 4, and 9 are all traditional Bulgarian tunes and three of us are Bulgarian!

From me in Scotland, love your music (tapaidh leacht) thank you

Love it! Enjoying discovering this music and learning about the instruments and styles and how it all fits together. Keep up the great work!

Super music. Thanks from Slovakia.

Let me give you another good exemple... from the portuguese Melech Mechaya. There's the same influence... and it also sounds great - depending if it fits in your tastes.

Molto bene grazie. Evitaeterna.Ñ.

I've found 2 Orkestina albums on Amazon.

It is really interesting from aesthetic view! How do you mean: kitsch?

optchá!

Focus on the Express why don't you?

I did not contest that you are musicians; however the music you produce it is kitch... ; good to be sold as "original" and "originating" from where you do not belong.

Ciao hello bonjour lol

Dear, Transilvania IS NOT BALKAN! I am from Transilvania and believe me I know where I am from. So is true, this music has not too much to do with Transilvania, even not with Transilvanian Klezmer...

Cet album a l'effet d'une drogue ! Une fois qu'on l'écoute, on ne peut plus s'en passer !!

Fully agree with your statement "You don't have to be from a place in order to play music that is traditional in that place". The music you play comes from a piece of your hart and guts, not from a piece of your land. I enjoyed a lot the Irish fiddle starting at 15:20 (No, I am not Irish :)

Die musik hat viel zu tun mit Transilvania und Romania.Romania has and used to have consistent Hungarian, Jewish, Roma & many other minorities. The cultural identity of traditional music is a mixture of everything that was locally played by the population, including foreign influences.Actually,one of the origins of Klezmer Jewish music is in eastern Romania,Moldova, though there were (and still are) a lot of Jewish communities in Transylvania and the west.This music migrated later to New York...

Try informing yourself by reading the information here, where it gives the names of the musicians from which it's easy to see where we are from, and by the names of the tunes it is also obvious from which countries and musical cultures they come from if you know anything about music of the Balkans. Nowhere will you find any claim that we are from Translivania. And yes, we are musicians, what's the problem with that?

Fantástico !!!! Saudações do BRASIL !

Preciosa música no me explico cómo se puede oír tanta música mala existiendo ESTO ,desde luego me abstengo de citar la música mala a qué me refiero

Track start times: 1 - 00:00 - Horo #1 2 - 03:52 - Manele 3 - 09:13 - Mary (changes pace at 13:10) 4 - 19:33 - Momneele 5 - 25:09 - Horo #2 6 - 33:17 - Sirba (fantastic!) 7 - 42:36 - Grancharsko Horo 8 - 48:27 - Galitzyaner Tanz 9- 54:16 - Groovski Ritmi

Music aus Bulgarien, Mazedonien, Griechenland, Serbien, Bosnien, Sandzak, und minimal aus Rumenien... ! Trotzdem sehr schön...

This album is still on sale, you can find it on amazon and elsewhere. The first two albums (Soul of Europe and Jewish Gypsy) were 'homemade' so I think the only way to get them now is on here, for example, which is why I uploaded them really.

I don't find something about this band... No page, nothing. If you have something to share me about this band, I want it !

It is really awesome! Those sinouse, enchanting sounds inviting you to dance and to reflect upon your life at the same time!

WOW! Great music. Thanks for the upload :-)

Romanian style

This band and/or their marketing people have some very unproductive way of marketing them. Like you can´t go to a supermarket unless you are dressed in red and white and wear blue shoes,,, Some of the songs on this record are from the Balkan, not really Romanian, rather Bulgarian or Macedonian. There is some info at rateyourmusic.c-m. I quote: "Orkestina come from Bulgaria, Ireland, England, and Spain. They play eastern european songs, klezmer, gypsy and mix some celtic elements. All musicians have rich musical background and has played jazz, classical, pop and improvisation. This is the band I would love to see in a club, playing at a wedding or if i'm really lucky just see them play live in the streets:)"

54:14 -> Beautiful!!!

I've been looking for this band for 10 years. So glad I found it. Loved this music.

Hmmm the song that is starting at 19:50 is a bulgarian folklore song..................

Can you please direct me to a source recording (and any other information) of Grancharsko oro. I would SO appreciate it !

Stupenda momneele!!

SWEET

love it ❤

Thank You John Davison for posting this music.

Brano stupendo (Momneele) cantante favolosa!! ( chi sa dirmi cosa vuol dire "Momneele" in italiano? Grazie

♥

Wow, great! Compliments to the musicians for this fussion.

Beautiful

I love it!

I’ve been looking everywhere to find an answer but how do you get the clarinet to sound like that? I play clarinet and have no idea how to make it sound so funky and energetic, is it practice or key or special reed? I am admittedly pretty bad at clarinet as well so that could be why..

Beautiful disc, thank you! 🙏 Mamnele especially is arriving deeply to my soul! Somebody knows where could we find the original version of this diamond?

This music has nothing to do with Transilvania, and believe me this music it is not played by local population in Transilavania... it is probably played in some obscure New York jazz bar or recording studios.. by some musicians..

Superlativo❤😊

great music, terrible studio, bad mixing

Where are these guys from?!

to mitracheleo - are you sure, that "original transilvanians" didn't lend their "original" melodies from somewhere else? have you done some researches in this subject? the point is, that there are no "original" Balkan music at all after oriental influences

What is the art used here?

Rather jolly, isn't it!

Thanks from Brazil!

Diese musik,hat nichts zu tun mit Transilvania und tradition von Ardeal.Das ist judische musik.Ist das schön,aber,keine rumänische tradizion.
