Immigrant Suns
Biography
Now approaching its 20th year, Immigrant Suns are pioneers of what became a new wave of American interest in the music of The Balkans, The Middle East, so-called “Gypsy” (Romani) music of Eastern Europe and ethnic folkloric music in general. Over the course of eight years, the group released five recordings that evolved from early impressionistic melding of archaic folk music and art rock, into music that featured the sophisticated handling of many traditions, some experimental hybrids and even a big-band version of the group.
