World Music: Shantel, "Disko Partizani"
-Download on iTunes
(Germany) Hamburg based Shantel made his reputation with his "Bukovina Club" nights. These were wildly popular dance events where Shantel showered the audience with a mix of Eastern European music tempered with plenty of throbbing backbeat. He is credited with bringing the music of all the countries petitioning for entrance into the European Union onto the dance floor --something we may wait a lot longer for in the political world. "Disko Partizani" is a tongue in cheek lyric "My baby came down from Romania/ She was the Queen of Transylvania/ But now we live in suburbia/Without anybody buzzin 'round." Well, life can be dull in a Hamburg suburb for a Transylvanian queen….which may account for her snit fit at the end of the video.
