Beskrivning
Wide-ranging, irreverent and humorous, packed with fascinating - and sometimes tragic - details on lands and people who are rarely heard from.Princes Amongst Men is the only book to provide an overview of Gypsy music across the Balkans, documenting remarkable artistry in former Yugoslavia, Romania and Bulgaria. It is also the only travelogue available through terrain many consider to be Europe's 'Badlands', covering ghettoes and villages, railways and motorways, weddings and funerals, festivals and dive bars.No other writer has emulated the spirit of Jack Kerouac on the Balkan roads, in search of adventure, artistry and romance.

Mer om författaren

Garth Cartwright is an award winning journalist and author. As a teen Garth was inspired to write on (and promote) Kiwi punk bands, thus a career in words/music beckoned – by the age of 21 he was New Zealand’s foremost music and visual arts journalist. Leaving in 1990 to explore the US, he purchased a rusty Buick Skylark for $500, hit the road and, in some ways, has never stopped. Since 1991 he has lived and worked in London. He regularly contributes to the Guardian and Financial Times and is the author of seven nonfiction books, while his Substack has an international readership. A passion for sharing musical enthusiasms has never dimmed – from 2005- 2022 he hosted a monthly Balkan/folk music night in Brixton. When not writing or travelling, Garth likes to collect records and DJ.
