Bato the Yugo Tuesdays @ Kafana

Listening to Bato the Yugo and his guys singing and playing serbo-kroatian 'schlager' at Kafana. Awesome poppy, folksy organic jams that just make you wanna know Serbian so you could sing along. Or maybe it's better not to know Serbian, after a while they are prolly just 'Schlager'.
 Next week I will bring my minidisc-recorder and give all of you who can't come out here a taste of what it sounds like. Give me a city that has Serbian, German, Cajun, BraZilian, Turkish, American, Puerto Rican, Italian, Chinese , Russian, French, Maroccan, Aegyptian, Korean, Japanese- run places all in a three block radius? 
My Block feels multikulti even for NY Standards.
The serbs have worked themselves into singing along with every song now, it really feels like hanging out in the Balkans here especially if u like zijebanica and chiwapi .
Been working with Bato on recording some of his songs here at my house and I guess I need to brush up on my mixing skillz, i got some badass performers coming thru and laying down trax these days. Well, u learn as u do I guess.
