^ Thanks for the kind comment, Miss P.

Yes, as the gypsies moved from India and into Europe, they must´ve picked up a real mix of influences. When I have time I might investigate a bit more, because at the moment, between you and rostasi, I feel really out of my depth.

Rostasi, I also liked your Victor Gore clip very much, especially the sound of the plucked string instrument that accompanies the accordian. Any idea what it might be ?

This remark had me puzzled though; I wonder what rembetika is, and what reputation it has.
