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
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.

The greatest album ever to come out of Kazakhstan! With one big exception --- where is Corky Buchek and his mega hit "bing bang"? Fortunately, Corky (like everyone) has a myspace page where you can listen to (and download) his music (Myspace profile name CorkyBuchek69).
Seriously, the album is pretty good --- quite a few catchy ethnic tunes (not sure they're really from Kazakhstan, but still good) and the included dialogue from the movie is really funny (and short). Get it for a good laugh.

Hi,
I got tired of pop music (White and Black) a long time ago. Every few years something interesting happens but overall - quiet times awaiting something New and interesting. BTW, importantly - I live in the USA.
So, I resort to listening to what they often call - world music. Anything from Ivan Kupala, to French/Arab rappers, to Gogol Bordello, to Andean and Native N. American music . . . So when I heard BORAT's soundtrack I was blown away! There are scenes from the movie (or is it "motion-cinema"?), a few tracks that seem to be jokes (Born To Be Wild+) and that's all funny and good. But many of the tracks of my interest are musical gems! Wonderfully fresh (for us in the US) rhythms of South-Central Europe with lots of Gypsy sound - boundless energy and beat fused with melancholy [Chaje Shukarije, Gypsy Kolo, Siki, Siki Baba++]. If you can move past "Borat", you'll be treated to the world that's very unique, fresh, and fun for us here in the US.

I got this Cd as a gift for my brother, and we're both big fans of the movie, so naturally he loved it. The songs as part of the soundtrack are peppered in with bits of Borat's monologue.
