THE GYPSY QUEENS AND KINGS featuring MAHALA RAI BANDA (Romania) and KALOOME (France). Concert recorded in London, October 2009.

Though much of Gypsy Carpet consists of mid-tempo dance pieces, driven along by the thump and clatter of Tekirovski Sevim’s tapan drum, Esma’s wonderfully heartfelt singing is most effectively showcased on the slower pieces like Devel Upral Dikhela and the halting Javera Cumingan. Unfortunately it’s followed by the dirgey ballad So Maki Sum Se Rodila, featuring choral-style male backing vocals which overdo the cheese factor.
