Zabe I Babe's music is a kaleidoscopic, cranked up, often punked out tour of the Bosnian radio dial. From hardcore traditional harmony singing and gypsy brass band party music to emo/techno pop, it's a trip worth taking. Literally "Frogs and Grandmothers," their name is the Bosnian equivalent of "apples and oranges."

Formed in 1991 by Bosnian ethnomusicologist Mirjana Lausevic and multi-genre performer Tim Eriksen (the band Cordelia's Dad, the film Cold Mountain), Zabe teamed up with the phenomenal Macedonian Roma group "Ansambl Teodosijevski" in 1997 to record the stunning, one-of-a-kind world music collage "Drumovi" ("Routes.") If you're looking for intensity, surprise, tradition and real invention, you'll find it here.
