Gypsy Mambo (1999)

Naat Veliov and his Kočani-based band mix classic 9/8 and 7/8 Macedonian dances with playful nods to Latin rhythm on this album. His piercing, vocal-like trumpet leads, but the tapan drum and snare keep a supple, dancing pulse underneath. Choose it as a lighter, more playful companion to L'orient est rouge.
