"This recording, produced in France, is a "just ok" representation of the folk music of Valassko, E. Moravia. The band is average, and the female vocalist tends to sing "in the back of the throat"; however, there are some rockin' tunes. One of the best is the first one, Pod kopcem Hostynem. For REALLY great music from Valassko, look for Cimbalova muzika TECHNIK and the vocalists Jarmila Sulakova or Josef Laza. If you can find them."
