Ladies and gentlemen, step right up! We’re going to once again dust off those volumes of eastern tzigane rroma gypsy, and get crazy. Klezmer, sephardic, and just a touch of vaudeville jazz for your circus-atory system; we have the screaming violins, we have the moaning accordions, we have the Persian dancers’ castanets. It sounds so erotic, doesn’t it?
And you know, some of it feels that way, yes. But more than that, it’s mostly just awesome. You don’t have to know any eastern voodoo spells yourself to be under its charms. So tie on the rupee scarves, don the top hat, and break out the grease paint, because anything worth doing is worth doing right.
