Bob's Backstory

When I met ethno-musicologist Bob Cohen he not only told of how he had unearthed nearly lost melodies in far away lands, he also let me listen to them.

Bob's been resuscitating the musical traditions of the Carpathian Basin for years now. Among other projects, he and his band Di Naye Kapelye play many of the dusty old tunes he has happened upon in his travels.

His band has just released its latest recording called "Traktorist" - it's a great way to chill out after a hard day tilling out in the fields.
