Album Description
In Borat, the movie, Sacha Baron Cohen - star of HBO's hit comedy "Da Ali G Show," and featured as Will Farrell's nemesis in the hit movie Talladega Nights, takes his outrageous Kazakhstani reporter character Borat to the big screen. In this hilariously offensive movie, Borat travels from his primitive home in Kazakhstan to the U.S. to make a documentary. On his cross-country road-trip, Borat meets real people in real situations with hystericalconsequences. The companion CD to the movie features original comedy as well as musical numbers like "Born to be Wild" and "In My Country There Is A Problem" (aka "Throw The Jew Down The Well"). The package will also include five minutes of exclusive video outtakes from the movie.

Rarely have snippets of movie dialog been more welcome on a soundtrack than on this disc accompanying comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's mock-doc, in which the titular character exposes America's prejudiced underbelly on a cross-country trip. Each "dialoguing excerpt from movie film" plays like a tasty, fantastically offensive mini-comedy routine, and there's a pair of soon-to-be classic songs, "In My Country There Is Problem (Throw the Jew Down the Well)" and the karaoke-sounding "You Be My Wife." But while Borat has become Kazakhstan's best-known (if not actually real) export, be warned that are no tunes from that country on the soundtrack. Instead, the music selection consists of mostly upbeat, brassy tunes from the Balkans (not even in the vicinity of Kazakhstan, a Central Asian land) by the likes of Kocani Orkestar and Esma Redzepova (from Macedonia); Fanfare Ciocarlia, Stefan de la Barbulesti, and Mahala Rai Banda (from Romania); and the peripatetic Goran Bregovic (from Bosnia and Herzegovina). Best of the lot: Fanfare Ciocarlia's tuba-heavy take on "Born to Be Wild." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews

High five!
The movie itself- hilarious! The soundtrack is fantastic, containing music from some of the best known artists of the Eastern European Gypsy (Roma) genre: Goran Bregovic (former rock star turned award winning composer), Esma Redzepova, Kocani Orchestra, Ivo Papasov, and more. Some of the songs are actually on the soundtracks of other movies (particularly the songs of Bregovic) such as "Time of the Gypsies" and "Underground" (both movies by Emir Kusturica) and Esma, who sings the opening "Caje Sukarije" has numerous CDs of her own, performs in a variety of languages, and has a broad international following, as does Bregovic.
The Borat soundtrack is a true gem for any fan of the character or the musical artists!

It would be worthwhile to check out the other wonderful films that use some of these songs in their soundtracks as well!

It's NICE, but........
I am very upset that Corky Buzsek's huge #1 hit in Kazhakstan, "Bing Bang, Bing Bang Bong" was no include in this CD. If they include, I'm rate it not just 5 stars, but High 5 stars!!!

Music to Make Ethnic Babies to
Borat never ceases to amaze... Drawing on the roots of his native homeland, Borat has selected a great variety of music for the CD soundtrack to his film. This album combines traditional Eastern European Gypsy (Roma) tunes from countries such as Macedonia and Yugoslavia with Borat's Kazaki interpretations of popular Western hits such as "Born to be Wild". Borat's love of American culture has helped formulate an intoxicating mix of music sure to please any of his fans, and with hopefully enough CD sales he can help finance a flight back to his native country should they decide not to execute him.

Definitely check out "Chaje Shukaraje" by Esma Redzepova and Borat's own "Throw the Jew Down the Well".

Sure-fire #1 hits that are destined to become MTV favorites.
