1	The Best of Django Reinhardt [Capitol/Blue Note] (1996) more music like this by Django Reinhardt $6.69 (used CD, see detail)* add to wishlist Tread cautiously when the title of an album starts off with the phrase "the best of." It's not that the music on the album will be lacking, but that the introductory phrase is so subjective, it should make a prospective of the album, at the minimum, a bit wary; it would be somewhat more honest to title such compilations "Some of the Best of..."

2	Djangology [Bluebird] (2002) more music like this by Django Reinhardt $6.83 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist In 1949, guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli performed together for the first time since the outbreak of World War II put an end to the classic lineup of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, with the pair reuniting in an Italian recording studio and laying down a number of tunes with a solid local rhythm section. In 1961, ... see all copies from $6.83! new only from $6.83!
3	East Infection (2005) more music like this by Gogol Bordello $3.71 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist see all copies from $3.71! new only from $3.71!
4	Super Taranta! (2007) more music like this by Gogol Bordello $11.37 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist Gogol Bordello is a group that will never slow down. Album after album, show after show, Eugene Hütz and his group of enthusiastic, disheveled gypsies continue to make fantastically inventive, provocative, smart, raucous music that refuses to be categorized or confined. But Gogol Bordello isn't trying to separate itself from the crowd in order to ... see all copies from $11.37! new only from $11.37!
5	Gypsy Punks Underdog World Strike (2005) more music like this by Gogol Bordello $11.53 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist These "gypsy punks," as the band jubilantly describes itself, were once precisely that, a spectacular clash of cultures that smashed the exuberance of Ukrainian gypsy music and the pounding rhythms and exhilarating fire of Slavic folk, with the roar of punk rock. That was then, but now globalization has got them in its grip, and Gogol Bordello set ... see all copies from $11.53! new only from $11.53!
6	The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order (2000) more music like this by Django Reinhardt $20.31 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist This budget five-disc box collects Reinhardt's first 124 recordings between 1934-1939. Curiously enough, despite the title, these sides aren't chronological, a fact that engineer Ted Kendall admits in the liner notes. Rather, while each disc's featured sessions are presented mostly chronologically, the discs themselves are rather awkwardly ... see all copies from $20.31! new only from $20.31!
7	Putumayo Presents: Gypsy Groove (2007) more music like this by Various Artists $12.51 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist Plugging along with their Grooves series, Putumayo's Gypsy Groove album collects a series of slinky, groovy pieces from the dance clubs of Eastern Europe, with a few diversions here and there. Music of the various gypsy groups has found its way over the years into any number of musical forms, from flamenco to "modern" brass band affairs. As such ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $12.51!
8	Verve Jazz Masters 38 (1994) more music like this by Django Reinhardt $3.75 (used CD, see detail)* add to wishlist see all copies from $3.73! new only from $9.14!
9	Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) more music like this by Rodrigo y Gabriela $10.20 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist While Rodrigo y Gabriela's self-titled third album is an utter and complete joy to listen to -- actually, it's more of a riotous celebration -- it's more than difficult to describe exactly what they do. This Mexican guitar duo met while in a heavy metal outfit together and soon found the local scene wanting. Both had roots in flamenco and other ... see all copies from $10.20! new only from $10.20!
10	Souvenirs [Verve] (1956) more music like this by Django Reinhardt With Stephane Grappelli With the Quintet of the Hot Club of France $6.00 (used CD, see detail)* add to wishlist There are two distinct periods covered by this compilation of sessions Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli, and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France recorded for a number of French labels. The first was just before Grappelli left France to go to England, not wanting to be under the Nazi Germany-sponsored Vichy government during World War II. ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $14.10!
11	Voices of Life (2000) more music like this by Bulgarian Womens Choir $1.99 (used CD, see detail)* add to wishlist The West became aware of the wonderful Bulgarian female choirs through La Mystere des Voix Bulgaires. This is, perhaps, the next step. Produced by former Roxy Music keyboard player Eddie Jobson, this explores the unique harmonies and overtone singing of the voices. In many ways, the singers represent the crossroads between West and East and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.56!
12	Morning Star (1997) more music like this by Muzsikas and Marta Sebestyen $6.36 (used CD, see detail)* add to wishlist To Western ears, the Hungarian folk music on Morning Star is not as accessible as the Celtic folk which blossomed into ubiquity in the U.S. in the 1990s. But Muzsikas and Marta Sebestyen have nonetheless become a comparable international phenomenon, selling out concerts in the most Western of places. Hungarian dance music is no less jubilant than ... see all copies from $6.36! new only from $11.43!
13	Paris and London: 1937-1948, Vol. 2 [4 Disc] (2001) more music like this by Django Reinhardt $20.31 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist see all copies from $18.45! new only from $20.31!
14	Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares (1990) more music like this by Bulgarian State Radio & Television Female Vocal Choir $3.00 (used CD, see detail)* add to wishlist The record that started the boom, this is an excellent introduction to the thrilling Bulgarian women's choir. ~ Myles Boisen, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.98! new only from $12.88!
15	Taraf de Haïdouks [Elektra] (1999) more music like this by Taraf de Haïdouks $5.98 (used CD, see detail)* add to wishlist On this Western market debut release of Taraf de Haïdouks, the supergroup of Romanian gypsy music in recent years attempts to represent all of the major styles of Romanian music as well as gypsy musics from surrounding areas. The ability to switch between a heart-wrenching ballad and an ultrafast instrumental romp again and again is really one of ... see all copies from $4.46! new only from $16.52!
16	Hot Club of Detroit (2006) more music like this by Hot Club of Detroit $6.95 (used CD, see detail)* add to wishlist The very name of the Hot Club of Detroit is a tip-off to what kind of traditional jazz this Detroit-based sextet plays. Where other jazz combos may devote themselves to Dixieland or bebop, this group hearkens back to the hot dance music and gypsy jazz made by Django Reinhardt; indeed, the group's name is a play on Reinhardt's legendary Hot Club of ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $15.70!
17	Voi-La Intruder (2003) more music like this by Gogol Bordello $9.95 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
18	Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony (2002) more music like this by Gogol Bordello $9.82 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist The idea of colliding Romany music with punk may at first seem bizarre, but there's more common ground to be found than one might first suspect, not the least of which involves the rejection of authority and dominant cultural norms. Musically, the Romanies' exuberant celebration of life may appear the antithesis of punk's original nihilism, but ... see all copies from $7.70! new only from $9.82!
19	How It Ends (2004) more music like this by DeVotchKa $10.92 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist Listening to DeVotchKa's third album, any aging '80s indie kid will fall into a what-if daydream. Remember when Morrissey broke up the Smiths? Maybe instead of going solo, the Mozzer should have hooked up with Peter Solowka, who at the time was starting up his own solo project outside the confines of the Wedding Present, a tongue-in-cheek blending ... see all copies from $10.92! new only from $10.92!
20	A Secret Gate (2004) more music like this by Mostar Sevdah Reunion $4.33 (used CD, see detail)* add to wishlist Already big in their Bosnian homeland, Mostar Sevdah Reunion won several awards with this album, which originally appeared in 2003 and is just now seeing American release. Their music aches with passion, taking its cue from the old form of the sevdah, which dates back to Ottoman times -- perhaps Balkan blues is an apt analogy (the local sargija ... see all copies from $3.69! new only from $13.57!
21	Astrakan Cafe (2001) more music like this by Anouar Brahem $14.58 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist The Tunisian oud genius has done it again. Anouar Brahem has issued only five records under his own name over the past decade, each more adventurous than the last, without compromising his original vision: for the music of his region to meet with the other music of Africa and Asia and create a delirious sound that is equal thirds past, present, ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $14.58!
22	Supermelodrama (2002) more music like this by DeVotchKa $9.97 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist Produced by 16 Horsepower's Bob Ferbache, DeVotchKa's debut, Supermelodrama, shows a band filled with vigor and paranoia, but with a much distilled and prominent vision. At their most dark and forceful, DeVotchKa sit somewhere between the nervous Radiohead and the most melodic of Talking Heads, due to vocalist Nick Urata's vocal likeness to Thom ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $9.97!
23	Tango Bitter Sweet (2006) more music like this by Quadro Nuevo $13.76 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist There was a time when doing something experimental in tango could not only result in bad reviews from music critics who didn't understand what you were doing -- it could also result in bodily harm. The late Astor Piazzolla, often hailed as the Charlie Parker of tango, was literally beaten up in the streets of Buenos Aires by opponents who disliked ... see all copies from $13.76! new only from $13.76!
24	Best of Hungarian Gypsy Tunes: Czaedas (2005) more music like this by Andras Farkas & Ensemble $6.17 (new CD, see detail) add to wishlist see all copies from $6.17! new only from $6.17!
25	Borat [Original Soundtrack] (2006) more music like this by Original Soundtrack $1.99 (used CD, see detail)* add to wishlist Sacha Baron Cohen blurs the lines between reality and satire once again on the soundtrack -- or rather, "Stereophonic Musical Listenings That Have Been Origin in Moving Film" -- to Borat. The album mixes authentic Eastern European music, such as Esma Redzepova's "Chaje Shukarije" with Cohen's own twisted songs like the hearty singalong "In My ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.56!
