The Ostblog | Daily Dose | New Balkan Music Blog

http://www.ostblog.at in German too

There's a Balkan music blog that I just discovered (or they found me) coming from Austria. Written in German (a much better option for the 4% percent of you that hail from Deutschland and Austria), they have cleverly installed a translator that adequately translates all the pages into English.

The blog discusses the Balkan Music movement (Gypsy Punk, Balkan Brass, Balkan Music DJs) from more of a European Perspective but the writer also travels a lot and is introduced to many different styles of music (Kiev and Moscow, just as an example). Its definitely a source to look into when researching about Balkan Music, be sure to check it out.

Be sure to also check out the most recent contributor's MySpace page;

PUTIN DA REKORD

There also is a page detailing what I believe is the list of contributors:
