1	Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) more music like this by Rodrigo y Gabriela While Rodrigo y Gabriela's self-titled third album is an utter and complete joy to listen to -- actually, it's more of a riotous celebration -- it's more than difficult to describe exactly what they do. This Mexican guitar duo met while in a heavy metal outfit together and soon found the local scene wanting. Both had roots in flamenco and other ... see all copies from £8.70! new only from £8.70!
2	Borat [Original Soundtrack] (2006) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Sacha Baron Cohen blurs the lines between reality and satire once again on the soundtrack -- or rather, "Stereophonic Musical Listenings That Have Been Origin in Moving Film" -- to Borat. The album mixes authentic Eastern European music, such as Esma Redzepova's "Chaje Shukarije" with Cohen's own twisted songs like the hearty singalong "In My ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £12.89!
3	Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares (1990) more music like this by Bulgarian State Radio & Television Female Vocal Choir The record that started the boom, this is an excellent introduction to the thrilling Bulgarian women's choir. Myles Boisen, All Music Guide see all copies from £5.64! new only from £11.68!
4	Gypsy Punks Underdog World Strike (2005) more music like this by Gogol Bordello These "gypsy punks," as the band jubilantly describes itself, were once precisely that, a spectacular clash of cultures that smashed the exuberance of Ukrainian gypsy music and the pounding rhythms and exhilarating fire of Slavic folk, with the roar of punk rock. That was then, but now globalization has got them in its grip, and Gogol Bordello set ... see all copies from £7.39! new only from £8.39!
5	The Best of Django Reinhardt [Capitol/Blue Note] (1996) more music like this by Django Reinhardt Tread cautiously when the title of an album starts off with the phrase "the best of." It's not that the music on the album will be lacking, but that the introductory phrase is so subjective, it should make a prospective of the album, at the minimum, a bit wary; it would be somewhat more honest to title such compilations "Some of the Best of..." In ... see all copies from £5.95! new only from £8.44!
6	Super Taranta! (2007) more music like this by Gogol Bordello Gogol Bordello is a group that will never slow down. Album after album, show after show, Eugene Hütz and his group of enthusiastic, disheveled gypsies continue to make fantastically inventive, provocative, smart, raucous music that refuses to be categorized or confined. But Gogol Bordello isn't trying to separate itself from the crowd in order to ... see all copies from £8.28! new only from £8.28!
7	How It Ends (2004) more music like this by DeVotchKa Listening to DeVotchKa's third album, any aging '80s indie kid will fall into a what-if daydream. Remember when Morrissey broke up the Smiths? Maybe instead of going solo, the Mozzer should have hooked up with Peter Solowka, who at the time was starting up his own solo project outside the confines of the Wedding Present, a tongue-in-cheek blending ... see all copies from £9.17! new only from £9.17!
8	Legends of Gypsy Flamenco (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £5.56! new only from £8.03!
9	Putumayo Presents: Gypsy Groove (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Plugging along with their Grooves series, Putumayo's Gypsy Groove album collects a series of slinky, groovy pieces from the dance clubs of Eastern Europe, with a few diversions here and there. Music of the various gypsy groups has found its way over the years into any number of musical forms, from flamenco to "modern" brass band affairs. As such ... see all copies from £10.70! new only from £10.70!
10	Bartók Album (1999) more music like this by Marta Sebestyen/Muzsikas/Alexander Balanescu Marta Sebestyen and Musikas collaborate with violinist Alexander Balanescu on The Bartok Album, a work that traces the Hungarian folk influences on Bela Bartok's compositions. The exhilirating dances performed here display the artists' pride in their Hungarian heritage, as well as the desire to keep it vital and modern -- traits that Bartok also ... see all copies from £3.55! new only from £9.08!
11 view cover	Tango Bitter Sweet (2006) more music like this by Quadro Nuevo There was a time when doing something experimental in tango could not only result in bad reviews from music critics who didn't understand what you were doing -- it could also result in bodily harm. The late Astor Piazzolla, often hailed as the Charlie Parker of tango, was literally beaten up in the streets of Buenos Aires by opponents who disliked ... see all copies from £11.80! new only from £11.80!
12 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 38 (1994) more music like this by Django Reinhardt see all copies from £4.26! new only from £8.29!
13 view cover	Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony (2002) more music like this by Gogol Bordello The idea of colliding Romany music with punk may at first seem bizarre, but there's more common ground to be found than one might first suspect, not the least of which involves the rejection of authority and dominant cultural norms. Musically, the Romanies' exuberant celebration of life may appear the antithesis of punk's original nihilism, but ... see all copies from £8.88! new only from £8.88!
14 view cover	Band of Gypsies (2001) more music like this by Taraf de Haïdouks Having appeared at Johnny Depp's Viper Room for the rumored sum of 100,000 dollars as well as in his film The Man Who Cried and as runway models for Yohji Yamamoto, Taraf de Haïdouks would seem to be running the risk of corruption, but their music remains firmly planted in the Romanian gypsy band tradition. On this disc they were recorded live in ... see all copies from £11.80! new only from £11.80!
15 view cover	All Star Sessions (2001) more music like this by Django Reinhardt The studio sessions within this CD were produced by Charles Delauney in Paris during the late '30s, when a number of prominent Americans were either passing through or temporarily taking up residence in Europe. Django Reinhardt was a relative newcomer to jazz, but quickly became a leading player on the continent, and is present on four very ... see all copies from £3.07! new only from £8.83!
16 view cover	Electric Gypsyland 2 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Like its predecessor, Electric Gypsyland 2 is a collection of reinterpretations of recordings by several modern Balkan bands -- some of the new versions are relatively straightforward remixes, while others are much more dramatic and imaginative reworkings of the source material. Unlike the first volume in this series, however, this one also ... see all copies from £11.80! new only from £11.80!
17 view cover	Gypsy [K-Tel] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £2.78! new only from £2.78!
18 view cover	Voices of Life (2000) more music like this by Bulgarian Womens Choir The West became aware of the wonderful Bulgarian female choirs through La Mystere des Voix Bulgaires. This is, perhaps, the next step. Produced by former Roxy Music keyboard player Eddie Jobson, this explores the unique harmonies and overtone singing of the voices. In many ways, the singers represent the crossroads between West and East and ... see all copies from £5.29! new only from £5.29!
19 view cover	Blues for a Gypsy (2001) more music like this by Frank Vignola While Django Reinhardt offered a distinct way to approach the acoustic guitar and has been recognized as a genius, his style has often had to stand in the shadow of electric players in the Charlie Christian tradition. Fortunately, recent trends toward older forms of jazz have led labels like Concord and Acoustic Disc to record exciting, Reinhardt ... see all copies from £10.38! new only from £12.11!
20 view cover	From Luxor to Isna (1989) more music like this by Musicians of the Nile The Musicians of the Nile are a professional troupe of gypsy musicians hailing from Upper Egypt. Their dazzling mix of traditional songs is perfectly showcased on this early Real World release, which was taped in both France and England during the late '80s. With the dusky strains from the rababah (traditional fiddle), the mizmar (an oboe-like ... see all copies from £4.86! new only from £13.77!
21 view cover	Astrakan Cafe (2001) more music like this by Anouar Brahem The Tunisian oud genius has done it again. Anouar Brahem has issued only five records under his own name over the past decade, each more adventurous than the last, without compromising his original vision: for the music of his region to meet with the other music of Africa and Asia and create a delirious sound that is equal thirds past, present, ... see all copies from £9.19! new only from £9.19!
22 view cover	A Gypsy Legend (2002) more music like this by Saban Bajramovic Sadan Bajramovic is definitely an old-school gypsy singer, with several decades of experience behind him. But don't confuse age with taking it easy. His voice might not have the sharp edge it once did, but the energy is quite apparent, and there's no lack of commitment to the music, especially as he's backed by one of the best gypsy groups around ... see all copies from £11.67! new only from £11.67!
23 view cover	Curse Your Little Heart (2006) more music like this by DeVotchKa Denver-based cabaret/Gypsy/indie rock collective DeVotchKa's collection of four covers, a traditional piece and one new original puts to shame many artists who have tried to bridge the gap between full-length albums in the past with a hastily thrown together EP. In between a languid and lush version of "I Cried Like a Silly Boy" by Ted Thacker, ... see all copies from £6.57! new only from £6.57!
24 view cover	Tonino Baliardo (2003) more music like this by Tonino Baliardo Tonino Baliardo, lead guitarist of the Gipsy Kings from France, has made an attempt without the band to update the rhumba flamenca sound from the south of France on his eponymously titled second album. Hanging with a number of the Kings and the idiosyncratic postmodern production of Gerard Prevost, Baliardo's music is more firmly rooted than ever ... see all copies from £5.37! new only from £7.51!
25 view cover	Chasin' the Gypsy (2000) more music like this by James Carter James Carter celebrated 2000 by putting out two vastly different albums at the same time, an amazing concession from a major label for a jazz artist who doesn't sell in Kenny G-like proportions. Chasin' the Gypsy, as you might guess, is an homage to Django Reinhardt, whose music Carter used to dig on Detroit radio when he was a teenager, but ... see all copies from £4.99! new only from £8.89!
