We are very happy to announce another double bill live in Balabam! A night of two great performances by Bandini and RAKA!
RAKA are an exciting 9 piece Balkan collective who bring you a heavy dose of upbeat Balkan music destined to drag you from your seats. Focusing deeply on the traditional folk music of Bulgaria and Macedonia, they also bring varied styles from the Romani communities of Eastern Europe. They have created a program of unheard and interesting repertoire fused together with new energetic arrangements promised to create a vibrant and exciting atmosphere.
