A marvelous example of «translating» a traditional song's into explosive pieces of
punk, freak-folk, brilliant ballads, country bluegrass celebrations, or subtly combination of waltz and cabaret with
admixtures of neo-folk underground. Completely open to the many metamorphoses of rock, psychedelic, jazz to
clues expressive and even chamber music. Using mostly acoustical instruments (violin, mandolin, acc.guitar, double bass, el.guitar, trombone, blues harp, djembe and drum) Cinkuši offers a new dimension as they transform into a good mood machine. It is recommended in large quantities at the end of the day when everything else is done.
