Eastern Europe

And why I think it's so enchanting:

matryoshka dolls

beets (beets, bears, battlestar galactica)
castles
dracula 
textiles
gypsy caravans
accordions

I resisted the urge to put Count Chocula on there. What would you add to the list?

  2. Add Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares to the list! :) They sing the traditional songs of Eastern Europe, with their unique vocal techniques, odd rhythms and dissonant harmonies, to make music that is otherwordly, powerful and hauntingly beautiful. Listen to samples here: http://themysteryofthebulgarianvoices.com/SOUNDNAILS.html
