Samurai Over Serbia is the second full-length album by Fishtank Ensemble. It was independently released by the band in 2007.[1] Traditional eastern European, gypsy jazz, klezmer and original tunes are arranged to fit the ensemble's unconventional, but imaginative sound.[2] The groups sound is "consistently captivating, as if Gypsy swing continued to swirl around the world, picking up new inflections at every turn."[3]
