Started as a remote collaboration in 2021.
Willie Jakob, from Hamburg Germany, suggested to cover this traditional Gypsy song. I came up with the arrangement, using traditional instrumentation (until A. Lautner brought in his Fender Jaguar with vibro effect:) ) but wanted arrangement to be a fresh take. The first part of intro is in 9/8s, then it goes to 4/4 (maybe it could even be heard as 2/4) time.

It was recently that A. Lautner joined as a soloist, and also brought in his friend and a bandmate Rebekka on the violin, that we were able to finish this music. He also did final mix and mastering. This song became one of most satisfying projects I was ever associated with.
So, in order of appearance on the track, we have:

Buco Bucolini, USA, percussion, voice (effects...?, rhythm and melody guitars, arrangement
Jason Gekker, USA, upright bass
Andy, Scotland, clarinet
Willie Jakob, Germany, main vocals, harmony vocals
Rebekka, Germany, violin
A. Lautner, Germany, solo guitar (acoustic and electric), mix and mastering
