CONCERT AND DJs
Location: Klaonica
DJ Bezum aka Miron Milic
will provide music: bhangra (Bangladesh, Punjab), manele (Romania), chalga (Bulgaria), ex-YU, laïko (Greece), Roma music, and even Polish disco from the ’90s
Burek3000
a wild two-piece band, Aca & Jeca. From weeping violins to Balkan brass, from tavern laments to licentious joy. Dirty, obscure, and irresistibly danceable – it’s Rakija’n’Roll. Klezmer, Sevdah, Roma, Punk, Wave, Disco, Chansons – all and nothing. Music that makes you drink, cry, and dance like crazy.
Šarijanata
is a six-member folk-punk cabaret band based in Zagreb. If you heard how loud they are, you wouldn’t believe us that they are an acoustic band, the energetic rhythm section together with powerful vocals reflect punk intensity, while the bagpipes, accordion and violin draw their strength from the rich Balkan ethno tradition.
