Chaiori (2000)

This song is a very well known gypsy classic. You can for instance hear it in one of the films by Emir Kusturica (not sure which...) arranged by Goran Bregovic. I made it in a hotel room late at night in downtown Montreal. We made a recording session earlier that day when Mireille Leblanc sang the tune and recorded the basic beat of her Djembe. I had no idea of what to make of it but as I started to play around all fell in place almost without effort. Just another of those nights when everything you try just seems to work like magic...
