I must admit I spotted this one a while ago in the iTunes store and I thought - my god an entire album of brass ensemble what could me more torturous? Well turns out my anti-brass bias was rather unfair and unfounded in this case at least. I loved this album. Fanfare Ciocărlia are a twelve piece Romanian brass ensemble (Ciocărlia being Romanian for skylarking apparently) formed around 1996. Iag Bari is just so damn joyful I couldn't help smiling and bobbing along. One track even features the Bulgarian Womens Choir from the Huun Huur Tu album Fly Fly My Sadness. I don't know if there's much insight I can offer but give it a listen if you haven't already. I'm giving it an excellent.
