        "bio" : "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.\n\nUpon 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.",
