about

We play music from the Roma (gypsies) of the Balkan peninsula, which includes among others, the counties of Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Macedonia and Serbia. Originally thought to have migrated from India as slaves, Roma have suffered centuries of disrimination wherever they settled. Partially because of this, they have developed unique cultures, distinct from their mostly slavic neighors.
Brass band music was introduced to the balkans by the Ottoman turks, and the music still has a very Middle Easter twang resulting from the accomodation of Turkish modes to western tunings. In recent years, Roma music, mixed with elements of rock and hip-hop has become increasly popular in Europe. Hopefully, we can bring the trend to the U.S!
