going east

OK, folks, funk Carioca has been rinsed to death the last year or so, and doesn't it amount to a degree of colonialism when you get tanned Swedish brats with backslick haircuts dancing their Mastercard-toting, coke-fuelled Moet&Chandon strut to similarly coke-fuelled (hey, at least one link there!), gun-praising, bum sex-extolling, impoverished scruffy beats from the favelas?
Hey, rich European kids - try not to just hype one 'ethnic' style at a time, or be honest about it and admit that you just read about M.I.A in some fashion mag, and your DJ friends said "this is the coolest thing". The world is a big place, you know, and there are other parts of it out there!

So, here goes:
Balkan Beat Box: Bulgarian Chicks
featuring the "Bulgarian Chicks" Vlada Tomova and Kristin Espeland on vocals.
