You might not know what AHAAH is. You may not know what they sound like but here is some information that can help you out in discovering a type of music you may not have previously considered belongs in your collection.
First up you must know that the recent album 'The Way the Wind Blows' was recorded in Albuquerque, North America and Zece Prajini, Romania, mixed in Chicago. The origins of the American duo are clouded as their gypsy folk sound is so far removed from the typical American canon of genres.
The geography is relevant to the basis of their sound in that they blend traditional European folk with a more commercialized contemporary feel that broadens the appeal, making AHAAH more than just one thing. If they are any singular entity they are simply very talented musicians.
