This was an excellent review… it’s wonderful that you’ve highlighted the connection between the former Yugoslavia and Mexico so clearly! Thanks for this!
Ah I love it when someone else bridges the gap between two of my great loves - Mexico and the former Yu! It's something that in my alter ego as a travel writer and record collector I've spent a fair bit of time on myself - culminating a decade or so ago in putting together an album of rediscovered, remastered classics of Yugoslav Roma music from the 60s and 70s, including track #2 on the album, 'Kada Zvona Zvone,' a Romariachi masterpiece by the King himself, Saban Bajramovic - check out those horns!
