Review by Lynx Car Hire

Od Danas Do Sutra by Orkestar Cigani: A Wild Ride Through Folk and Heartache Let’s get one thing straight—this ain’t your grandma’s polka record (unless your grandma is secretly a Balkan tamburitza legend). Od Danas Do Sutra punches you in the gut with its raw energy, blending traditional folk vibes with that unmistakable American twist. Released under Alcon Records, this album feels like stumbling into a late-night jam session where no one cares if you’re there but everyone wants to make sure you stay. First off, props to the crew behind this beast. George Salopek on bass? Solid as hell. Bob Vukić tearing it up on cello? Unreal. And Ken Herak and Steve Zegar shredding those tamburitzas? Absolute chaos in the best way possible. The production team—Tom Ross, Arnie Rosenberg, Ken Tomsic—didn’t over-polish this thing, which is exactly what makes it so damn real. It’s gritty, imperfect, and dripping with soul. Now let’s talk tracks because not all heroes wear capes; some just slap strings till they cry. “Ova Naśa Livada Skadarlijo” hits hard right outta the gate. This track grabs you by the collar and screams, "Hey, listen up!" The interplay between the tamburitza and cello feels like an argument between two drunk uncles at a wedding—messy, emotional, and somehow beautiful. You can’t help but picture yourself spinning around in circles at some wild village celebration, even if you’ve never been near a village in your life. Then there’s “Ćifte Ćifte,” which is basically fire wrapped in soundwaves. If this song doesn’t make your feet move, call a doctor because something’s wrong with you. The rhythm punches harder than a heavyweight boxer, and the melody sticks to your brain like gum on a hot sidewalk. Every time I hear it, I’m ready to grab a drink, start yelling nonsense lyrics, and pretend I know what I’m doing. Spoiler alert: I don’t, but who cares? But here’s the kicker—the title track, “Živim Od Danas Do Sutra.” It sneaks up on you when you least expect it. At first, it’s mellow, almost too chill for its own good. But then BAM! It flips the script halfway through, throwing in these wild tempo changes that feel like life itself—unpredictable, messy, and kinda glorious. By the end, you’re left wondering how something so simple can hit so deep. So yeah, this album isn’t perfect. Some parts are rough around the edges, and maybe that’s the point. Life ain’t smooth sailing either, right? What Od Danas Do Sutra does is remind us that music doesn’t need to be polished to perfection to mean something. It’s alive, breathing, and kicking you in the ass to pay attention. And honestly? That last track, “Ćifte Ćifte,” made me Google “how to play tamburitza” at 2 AM. Spoiler: I failed miserably. But hey, isn’t that what great albums do? They mess with your head, your heart, and your Google search history. Final verdict? Buy it. Stream it. Steal it from a friend if you have to. Just don’t sleep on this gem unless you want to regret it later.

About Orkestar Cigani

The Cigani Tamburitza Orchestra. Cigani was one of the most innovative and talented groups within the past 30 years of American tambura history. Some of the great tamburitza artists who played with Cigani through the years were Jim Kopriva, George Salopek, Bob Vukic, Mike Kruljac, Bill Yurkovac, Tom Vesolich, Mike Klanac, and Ron Herak. Steve was also honored to have been able to play with his very good friend, Ken Herak, one of the greatest tamburitza musicians and vocalists of this or any era. Cigani played for picnics, clubs, weddings, concerts, christenings, and dances in the eastern half of the United States and also traveled as far west as Seattle, Washington. Cigani strived to develop their own distinctive style with innovative vocal and instrumental arrangements. Five popular long-play albums and one cassette were produced and many of the songs on these recordings still remain very popular.
