A band presenting their passion connected with traditional music of the Balkans. It's a clash of four personalities, experience and sensitivity.
Balkan Sevdah was established in 2004 to derive joy from discovering sounds seeping from the sources of Drina and Vardar rivers, from the buzz and reflection of towns hiden along the riverside of Naretva and in Rhodopes and Pirin valleys and Dinaric Mountains. Thanks to making music the musicians often come back, physically or spiritually, to those places full of exotic sounds, intensive flowers odour, herbs, roasted lambs, amazing buildings and abundant nature.
They play with sounds through arrangament and improvisation. They try to graps the esence of melodies and combine them with their own understanding of this extraordinarily rich and diverse tradition. The result of this is melodic, dynamic, sometimes reflective, from time to time wild, full of temperament and atmosphere characteristic for southeastern extremity of European continent.
