VOGITON
EVA SALINA & PETER STAN/Sudbina: Anybody out there know who Vida Pavlovic was? Hmm, didn't think so. She was the Yugoslavian queen diva of smoky bars and back alley music joints, reigning with the kind of passion Marlene Dietrich would have if she wasn't such an ice queen. We don't know if Salina is nailing it or not but on this vocal/accordion set, the duo sounds like something you would have heard in back alley clubs away from where either the Hot Club or Piazolla were holding court. A delightful indigenous ethnic set that doesn't need more than these two carrying on to make it's point, if you aren't versed in Roma sounds, this is fine jumping in point, especially for the armchair traveler looking for new kicks.
