Boris Kovač on EWSB:
I proudly present to you one of the best Romany ensembles in the Balkans. Olah Vince and his Earth – Wheel - Sky Band are legitimate representatives of the new urban cultural Romany scene, which presents its own musical and cultural heritage through world music. After publishing two albums for foreign labels, taking part in the most eminent ethno and jazz festivals, and after their European and World tour within which they visited France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Holland, Japan, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Croatia, the time has come for the audience in our country to get to know their discography. To start with, it is enough to say that Mr. Olah has dedicated his entire life to the struggle for his people’s cultural, social, and political rights. The “modern” people would say that the man is an expert but. I like more to think of him as Romany Bob Marley or to compare him to Manu Chao. Time will tell best to what extent he succeeded in that. The music on this compact disc bears only one message. The time has come for you to learn about the other side of the story about Romanies. From themselves.
The promotion and (ab)use of the Roman culture has becomea major trend in the world in the last few years. The irony of the historic moment has proven itself explicit this way: the people that represent the symbol of a-historic principle have come into focus of attention at the exact time when the unstoppable historic (technological/economic) progress got out of hand. You can draw conclusion yourself... Vince Olah, the living legend of the Novi Sad music scene, has dedicated his whole life to the cultural, social and political emancipation of the Romany people. The project RROMA ART is an attempt to find a unique matrix in the vast range of Romany music which will make its creators, who have been discriminated and spread all over the world, awere of their Romany identity. Trust your heart, at least for a moment, for we are all Romany at heart...
B92 o albumu XXI vek
Najbolji romski etno ansambl Earth Wheel And Sky featuring Olah Vince, predstaviće svoj novi album "XXI vek" na kocertu u Domu omladine 9. aprila, na kome će nastupiti kao gosti francuskog etno-džez sastava Natchav Trio.
Olah Vince i njegovi Earth-Wheel-Sky Band već godinama unazad predstavljaju sam vrh urbane romske kulturne scene.
Ovaj ansambl čija je muzika snažno utemeljena u obrascima kulturnog i muzičkog nasleđa Roma nastupao je do sada na svim eminentnijim etno i džez festivalima širom sveta, a u okviru sopstvenih turneja obišli su Francusku, Italiju, Nemačku, Holandiju, Portugal, Japan, Austriju, Mađarsku, Slovačku, Sloveniju i Hrvatsku.
"XXI Vek" je veoma posebna ploča, bliska elegičnom romskom sentimentu koliko i muzici Erika Satiea ili Rachmaninova, navodi se u saopštenju Doma omladine.
Putovanje počinje nežnom i krhkom La Musica koja se doima kao muzička podloga neke baletske scene koja je uvertira u tajni susret dvoje ljubavnika. Naredna Adagio tek naslućuje romsko poreklo koje svoj puni sjaj pokazuje kroz pustinjski valcer Desperados, na kojima bi im i američka postava Calexico pozavidela.
Dance Rromalen je vhunac prvog dela albuma, sa snažnim plesnim etno motivima.
Gypsy Shana Ba predstavlja neku vrstu, skoro neo-klasičnog, intermeca u kojoj će vas violina dovesti do suza. East & West Song podiže tempo kombinujući blago džeziranu temu sa skoro Bachovskim horom koji se samo na trenutak promoli, natera vas da se naježite i odmah potom Olahova gitara preuzima inicijativu vodeći vas lagano prema zalasku sunca.
Vokalna minijatura Petit Fleur samo je uvod u dve snažne posvete rodnom kraju, naročito vatrena Vranje Rromanji.
Ploču konceptualno zatvara potresna i refleksivna Where Is My Soul (obrada tradicionala Gde si dušo, gde si rano), ali pravi kraj dolazi sa temom Politika, Olahovim oštrim i duhovitim komentarom na prilike u Srbiji. XXI Vek je jedno toplo, ali ne i preterano veselo mesto. Earth-Wheel-Sky Band i Olah Vince to najbolje znaju.
Olah Vince ceo svoj život posvetio je borbi za kulturna, socijalna i politička prava svog naroda, te stoga smele komentare da se radi o romskom Bobu Marleyu ili Manu Chaou nikako ne treba shvatati kao komične.

The second CD, Waltz Romano, is truly an “on-the road” record, and this time it carries images of songs and music being played while travelling either on foot, by train or by sea as various sounds regarding the travels of these nomadic people have been added. In between songs one would hear sounds of water or sounds of trains. Although in reality the road taken is never that joyfull and merry, Earth Wheel Sky seem to have fun while doing that. The band plays with vibrant energy and along the way they are picking up all those influences and characteristics from regions starting from India up to Spain. It seems that fun never ends and it goes on and on.
“Azija Rromansa” opens with sounds from a pub and one can hear the sounds of glass and people talking, when a violin slowly makes its way through the crowd and then the band suddenly bursts into a dynamic performance. It features complex rhythms, intricate flamenco guitar soloings and in the background one can hear middle eastern melodies. The same combination and flavors are carried on to the next track “Sa e Rroma, Ando Them” (All the people in the world). “Me Sem Rrom” (Only a Man) is a vibrant tune with a brilliant C&W violin solo as well as fantastic cymbalo crashes. The world of Earth Sky Wheel Band is not as simple as some may think. Some melodies may seem familiar and the combination of that with heavyweight performances offers something special to the listener. “Music Rroman” is a flamenco tinged tune with strenght and sadness typical for flamenco music. It undoubtedly has, what people might say, a duende. “India Rroma” is a funky tune with a sitar playing different funky melodies unlike the traditional stuff we usually assosiate the sitar with.
Even though one can feel so many influences and tinges the band has managed to maintain the integrity of the music from their own region. With the explosion of the popularity of this type of music there was also an increase of misconceptions and sacriledge of their heritage. These days the music stores are flooded with CDs with gypsy music. Although the cover sleeves and the packaging are excellent, the quality of the music inside has proven to be poor. Not everything that shines is gold. In this case both releases have excellent cover sleeves and even better music.
