For more than two decades Croatian harmonica player Tomislav Goluban has done an endless work on a tenacious effort to make blues popular in his native Croatia Besides performing regularly in this country, in Europe and even in USA, he is founder of Etno Blues Festival which takes place in his home region northwest Zagreb and he also hosts a national radio show This is the eighth studio album with twenty-one songs that combine his country traditional and popular music with blues and world music Most songs have the particularity to gather a series of very original instruments as bagpipe, double flute, tambura, violin, mandolin or even more exotic ones like tapan, daf, darbuka or udu drum The album becomes an imaginative example of how to mix popular music of that particular European area with the blues and, in this way, end in a totally new sound completely different of what we are used to listen More than thirty musicians have participated in these twenty-one songs that will surprise more than one This is a highly recommended recording for world folklore and harmonica blues lovers
