A package from Prague, from Premyl, who runs a label;
he wants me to review some of their new albums.

The music is wacky, wild, weird, wonderful in its world-view;
Romany music mixed with punk, rock, funk, Arabic, jazz, hip-hop.

I love it like a long-lost brother, like learning language;
It speaks to my inner gypsy, my wild Slovak soul.

If John Cibula, a century ago, hadn't escaped from Europe,
with only his bass fiddle packed with money he'd earned
playing in a "gypsy orchestra" (so the family story goes),
this music would soundtrack my wild Slovak alternate life! Hyje!
