I bought the CD after hearing Kal perform live in Boston as part of the annual Serbian Festival. The CD doesn't have the intense energy of their live performance, but it's rousing all the same.
Kal described their sound as "Urban Gypsy" music. Romani guys from Serbia, they mix electric guitar, drums, accordions, violin, and I forget what else. Think of a klezmer band that discovered rock 'n' roll and that gives you an idea.
You don't have to understand the lyrics to enjoy the hot licks in "Obrenovac Boogie". Check it out -- and if you have a chance to hear them live, don't pass it up.
