This album is Tamara Jokic’s second record featuring traditional songs from the Balkans. The cornerstone of this music is an amalgamation of odd rhythms, intricate melodies and folk-driven storytelling. The music was reimagined by a New York based quartet (Bass - Tal Mashiach, Drums - Engin Günaydın, Guitar - Gilad Barakan, Piano - Tom Oren) and recorded at Bunker Studios, Williamsburg in April 2024. Special guests include Jordanian violinist Layth Sidiq on ‘Ajde Jano, as well as Turkish balaban player Alp Akmaz on Kad ja pođoh na Bembašu.
Produced by Gilad Barakan.
