Manele: Nicolae Guta - Mr Police

We did a party a week ago at legendary live venue Tavastia in Helsinki. A thing called Balkan madness! together with local balkan promoters/ djs Balkan fever.  It was cool to see people jamming, not just to your basic Shantel, but to stuff like Romanian manele. Which is why I'm sharing a banging manele track called Mr Police! by Nicolae Guta. This is if you wanna rock something in a balkan flavor beyond the gypsy brass sounds:


Nicolae Guta - Domnul Politai (Mr Police) (320k mp3) (Divshare)

Pick up more Nicolae Guta sounds at your local mp3 vendor here or here. He seems to featured on almost every manele compilation out there. And also check out this great spotify playlist by Birdseed, with manele and Bulgarian chalga among other things. Have to give a special shout out to Birdseed, who introduced me to manele in the first place.

Oh, and the police didn't crash our party, but it was featured in a local news paper that did a report on life in the city that day.
