A remarkable album by the unique acoustic Macedonian ensemble, DD Synthesis, which uses the full range of Macedonian instruments and features three lady vocalists who authentically preserve the special vocal traditions of their country. The word “synthesis” in the group’s title reflects the way in which it combines traditional sounds with contemporary arrangements. This eight-piece unit, which has won acclaim from audiences in Austria, Italy, Slovenia and Hungary as well as in their native country, delves deep into the roots of Macedonian folk music.
