Kočani Orkestar comes from the city of Kočani (Кочани), in The Republic of Macedonia (view more: Balkan Folk Music). Performed by two trumpets, three tubas, saxophone, clarinet, zurla (traditional oboe), accordion and percussion, their style of music is aptly described in their region as Romska Orientalna Musika - ‘Rom’ meaning ‘gypsy’. It is a potent mixture of powerful brass band sounds, Turkish/Bulgarian rhythms (including characteristic asymetrical time signatures such as 7/8, 9/8 etc., which are sometimes called ‘Aksak’ in traditional Turkish music), and Eastern-style solos which are at the same time very skillful, inspired and wild.

I wish I could find more of their stuff. Even on the web, there's not much. And I don't want Electric Gypsyland. :(

翌朝海の見える家で目覚めて一日中海にいられることを思いながら、横浜横須賀道路を佐原方面に真夜中の真っ暗な森を横目に飛ばしている時、コチャニーのMamboが最高だと思いました。
