This is my find of the day. Straight traditional Csango Hungarian singing - with a heck of a voice - and an absolutely extraordinary technique on the koboz, the simple folk lute of Romania. She must have studied Middle Eastern oud playing in depth and made her own thing entirely out of it. Nobody's ever played the koboz like this before.

Absolutely bloody sensational. Does anyone know whether she's made a CD?
