Details: Product Description Jeszcze Raz Amazon.ca "Balagan" means brothel in Hebrew and Polish. We couldn't dream of a better title for this second album by Montreal band Jeszcze Raz. With Balagane, the group founded by the pianist of Polish origin Paul Kunigis offers us a mix of Eastern and Western influences. It is Yves Desrosiers, to whom we also owe the achievement of the essential La Llorona, from Lhasa de Sela, who presides over this melancholy journey with gypsy accents. In the foreground, the haunting voice of Kunigis tells in four languages ​​stories of exile ("Tiberias"), fraternity ("Bamidbar") and love ("Yahayouni"), wrapped in percussion, accordion, violin, trombone, piccolo, etc. If Jeszcze Raz's first opus, Pamietam, went rather unnoticed, Balagane is one of those records that seem to improve with each new listen. And we are delighted that he is coming to Quebec to dig the still fresh furrow of world music. --Pascale Millot
