„Accomplished stuff, strong material and playing.” Andy Cronshaw, „fRoots”

3rd album by Polish band Čači Vorba that plays all East European traditional music with heart, spirit, knowledge, a Gypsy-sparkle and original, inventive arrangements gets noticed by "fRoots", "Songlines", "World Music Charts Europe" and "Transglobal World Music Charts"!

4 years after a successful release of „Tajno Biav” (Polish „Folk Fonograme of the Year 2011” and Songlines' „Tope of the World” mark), Polish band Čači Vorba comes back with a fresh new cd, transgressing beyond of what's usually defined in world-music as „Gypsy”, „Balkan” or „Carpathian”. You will hear them playing measured and furious, traditional and modern at the same time but always perfectly in balance.

"Šatrika" (adj. "wandering" in Gypsy language) is a colorful, multi-layered musical tale that spins stray from Eastern Europe, Balkans, through non anymore existing Gypsy district in Istanbul, where the cover cat had been photographed, to as far as India and Asian steppes. From a folk poetry full of magic, creation of a Polish Gypsy female poet „Papusza” to own lyrics written in many languages. From ethnic music, Roma swing, Romanian blues, Balkan pop and Mediterranean timbre to jazz, psychedelia and own sneaking-out to any definition ideas of band leaders: charismatic singer and violin player Maria Natanson and a multiinstumentalist and band's main arranger Piotr Majczyna. Maria Natanson’s warm, focused voice, her natural ease in singing in many languages, and the transparent, varied musical arrangements are what make this music so unique.
