Izvorišta 393: Cinkuši, Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars...
In this edition of Izvorišta I present two albums that were released at the end of last year and therefore couldn't be included in the annual list of the best releases. These are the Croatian folk-punk band Cinkuši and the new album by Frank London and his Klezmer Brass Allstars Band. We also listened to the first single by the group Buzz' Ayaz and a new and interesting release by the label Sheba Sound. In the last part of the show, I announced upcoming concerts in Zagreb: Gaye Su Akyol, YĪN YĪN, Avalanche Kaito and Brigan.

Cinkuši - Bog nam greh oprosti (Mast produkcija 2023.)
Cinkuši is one of the most important Croatian world music groups. They have been on the scene for over 30 years, but are not very active in the record industry. They only occasionally release albums, and this is only their second release since 2009. In that time, Cinkuši have been delivering unforgettable concerts, with their New Year's performance in Zagreb achieving cult status. "Bog nam greh oprosti" is an album as only they can make it - unencumbered, playful and outstanding from the first to the last song. The eternal inspiration from the tradition of the Croatian region of Zagorje and the great writer Miroslav Krleža is once again present on this album. We like to describe Cinkuši as ethno-punk, and their music and energy confirm this on this album.
Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars - Chronika (Borscht Beat 2023.)
Great klezmer/jazz master Frank London has released a new album with his band Klezmer Brass Allstars entitled "Chronika". Those who are familiar with London's work know what to expect from this release, and for those who are not, I will transcribe part of the description from the Bandcamp page: 'This electrifying album is a 'conscious party' that transcends boundaries, seamlessly blending traditional Yiddish and Hasidic music and Klezmer with electronic beats.'
