Traditional Albanian Saz'iso music debuts in London
Almost three decades since the fall of communism, a group of folk musicians from Albania is attempting to break into the world music scene.
Saz'iso play the traditional songs and melodies from towns in Southern Albania. They were brought together by the London-based music producer of Pink Floyd fame, Joe Boyd to record an album and will play at St.Luke's, Barbican Center in London in a few weeks' time.
