Zhaba is one musical vision of percussionist Jhos Singer (formerly Jhos Ceapach
Choinn). A fascination and love of both Balkan folk music led Singer to Bulgaria
in 1991 to experience it first hand. Astonishingly, the music he heard in
villages and hamlets in Bulgaria invoked for him an acoustic version of the
psychedelic rock he had heard at love-ins and block parties as a child in
Southern California.
Upon returning to the states, Singer got serious about
creating the unlikely pairing of traditional Balkan folk melodies and modes with
60's psychedelic rock styling. Zhaba is the end result. The band lays down
hypnotic Bulgarian and Greek rhythms, adds Balkan style vocals in languages both
real and imagined, then turns the psychedelic power up to eleven.
