Veronique Chevalier's Polka Haunt Us

Polka Haunt Us is a compilation recording, containing 13 NEW spooky songs, each based upon famous ghost legends from different regions around the world. (Vampire Surprise will be included as bonus track) now available

The goal is to include as many different sub-genres of polkas as possible, with World Music and other unusual musical combinations- from Klezmer to Folk, Metal to Country, Asian to Reggae! The result will be a delightfully dark melange of music best described as "World Gothic Polka."

Here are streams of all 13 spooky polkas + 1 bonus track for free on iLike
Thank you Veronique Chevalier for the heads up!
