Twice monthly they are blasting in Berlin’s Mudd Club: Gypsy grooves, tribal beats, and Balkan ska. After ten years, the BalkanBeats nights have become »legenda«. DJ Robert Å oko (Bosnia) plays all over Germany as well as in New York and Los Angeles. What had started as survival training of emigrants has become an international cult affair. BalkanBeats are highly addictive – with their savage energy, the colourful, fresh timbre, soulfulness and passion. The inexhaustible diversity stems from Slavic, Oriental, Jewish tradition, and from the culture of the Roma people. The music’s natural openness enables an easy and exciting transfer to modern times. Fresh Balkan bands pick up those traditions and process them into an individual cultural amalgam. Artists such as Let 3 and Magnifico spoof their own Balkan roots, fuse them with rock, ska, or metal, and nevertheless pay respect. Fanfare Ciocărlia, Karandila, and the Boban Marković Orkestar radicalize classical Balkan brass music with maximum virtuoso skill, thus renewing an old tradition to something sounding fresh and exciting. Many of the bands are inspired by completely different traditions. Mahala Raï Banda throw you out of the Bucharest slums into the heat of New Orleans. BalkanBeats presents the greatest Balkan hits from the Berlin Mudd Club. Traditional and urban sounds – diverse, explosive and just over the top. Recommended by Radio Multikulti Berlin.
