IMMIGRANT SUNS Montenegro 1994 Formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1992, the group enjoyed critical success and a cult fan-base around the country, which it toured incessantly in the 90’s. Immigrant Suns are pioneers of what became a new wave of American interest in the music of The Balkans, The Middle East, so-called “Gypsy” (Romani) music of Eastern Europe and ethnic folkloric music in general. Over the course of eight years, the group released five recordings that evolved from early impressionistic melding of archaic folk music and art rock, into music that featured the sophisticated handling of many traditions, some experimental hybrids and even a big-band version of the group.
