Asphalt Tango Records, one of the principal labels that helped popularize Balkan music in the past few years, is introducing Kottarashky, an electronic musician from Bulgaria, deeply rooted into the Gypsy music tradition of the Balkans. His first album, “Opa Hey!” samples countless authentic recordings of the Balkan village, along with prominent artists like Mitsoura and Fanfare Ciocarlia for an original trip-hop sound reminiscent of the Shukar Collective.
