'20' is a vinyl-only release that gathers together a selection of Fanfare Ciocarlia s seminal recordings from the band's remarkable two decade career. This collection ranges from the band s debut album Radio Pasçani onwards - recordings that have broken Balkan brass through to a huge international audience and ensured that Fanfare are Romania s foremost musical export. The double album - beautifully packaged, pressed on 180g vinyl with a 20 page photo-booklet - draws heavily on material from their first five albums and demonstrates their myriad musical strengths. Across four themed sides , '20' offers a reflection of the many musical faces of Fanfare. ROOTS captures them as a village brass band. ORIENT gathers their most Eastern recordings. JAMS features their funkiest sides that make clubs jump. AMIGOS demonstrates Fanfare s wide ranging collaborations, from backing Macedonia s Gypsy Queen Esma Redzepova to rocking with Canadian guitarist Adrian Raso. (Garth Cartwright)
