DESCRIPTION

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
The press raves about 17 Hippies as first rate globalists, the only true German ambassadors, and the new Berlin style and their new album is now available in the US! El Dorado perfectly demonstrates how a band matures over time. Having played together for 14 years, with 1,500 concerts in 20 countries, these musicians have found a unique style. Whether influenced by Balkan music, American rock, British pop, or film music, their compositions and sophisticated arrangements enter a new realm.

REVIEW
"17 Hippies are ridiculously underrated. They should be in the front rank of European world music artists." -- Charlie Gillet -- BBC London

"17 Hippies have learned how to fuse sundry musics into one." -- Washington Post

"17 Hippies is a prolific outfit . their polyglot style has evolved to take in dozens of genres, and here they've chosen to mix an Eastern European odd-metered rhythm, played on bass and accordion, with a plaintive, gentle reading of the `Apache' melody on the clarinet. It's very simple, and effectively makes an old classic new again." -- Pitchfork

"The renegade sound of 17 Hippies . is an engaging blend of pop sounds and traditional eastern European folk melodies." -- Chicago Sun-Times
