However, it is not that surprising considering that we are talking about Oi Va Voi, who didn't even have a full-length record out, when they were already invited to play at such big festivals as Glastonbury. What makes their music irresistible is their ability to bring Yiddish, Eastern European folk music and techno under the same roof with an amazing sense of taste and proportion. » more
