They are roaming, energetic and loud, able to produce a sound and atmosphere like no other - a real crowd pleaser!
We are the ideal group to bring to your wedding the Balkan and klezmer atmosphere that you are asking for 😊
We have more than 3 hours of different songs that we can play, like Hava Naguila, Ale Brider, Bubamara, Mesecina, Galizianer Tanz, Djelem djelem and many many more (ranging from traditional songs, to songs written by Bregovic and other ones written by ourselves)!
What we usually do during wedding is:
Playing at the aperitivo before dinner to warm the guests up
Playing during the dinner (1-2 small interventions)
Playing after the cake cutting, when everybody is happy, free to move and dance and we can have a great party atmosphere
We are completely open to discuss together on how to adapt what we do to your wishes and the location.
