It will be my great pleasure to welcome Lubo Alexandrov, Montreal's purveyor of the choicest Balkan Beats, to the Abstract Index this coming Wednesday.

Lubo's new disc, now credited to himself and band Kaba Horo, is called Contrabanda. It's one of my favourite Canadian releases this year, a clear progression from his Juno winning debut. He and the band are launching the CD at Lula Lounge the following night in what promises to be a rollicking good time of trying to make sense of those snaky rhythms.

I'll be speaking with him over the phone at 7PM on Wednesday night - he'll let us know what we're in for.
