Balkanarama

Balkanarama plays traditional and popular dance music from southeastern Europe, including songs of the Balkan Roma, the “Gypsy” people who migrated westward from Rajasthan to Europe a thousand years ago. The Seattle quintet features modern instruments heard at contemporary weddings in the Balkans – alto sax, clarinet, keyboard, drums and bass – and four voices singing in Albanian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Greek, Macedonian, Serbian, Turkish and Romanes, the Roma tongue. Balkanarama has performed at festivals, weddings, dance parties and concerts in the Pacific Northwest since 1997 and has released three CDs. Follow them at facebook.com/balkanaramausa.
