Lets rewind for a moment?

Rakija, an alcoholic beverage with its origin in the Balkan region, can be found on every household table during celebrations, weddings, funerals, and even in times of sickness because many believe in its deep-rooted medicinal powers. It's no surprise then that this same drink brought Almer and Nirvan together, thousands of miles away from their homeland, and in one drunken night gave them the inspiration to take off on this unique musical journey that we hope you all will enjoy.

Disclaimer to our listeners: this album is best enjoyed with your own glass or two of rakija and a mezza plate.

Enjoy!!
