Also PAAAAARTY!!!

Die junge Generation der Balkan Brass führt das Genre auf die nächste Ebene. Globaler urbaner Crossover ist Trumpf, auch auf den Bühnen für die Blasorchester aus Slowenien, Kroatien, Bosnien und Herzegowina, Mazedonien, dem Kosovo, Albanien und – wie es bei Marko Marković der Fall ist – Serbien.

Fundament bleibt der reiche Schatz an Volksmusik der Region - vor Sehnsucht und Sentiment triefende Balladen; schmissige Tanzmusik im Turbo-Schnellgang. Festgehalten wird am analogen, ländlichen, selbstgeblasenen Sound.

Der aber wird auch bei der Balkan Brass im 21. Jahrhundert in moderne „State-of-the-Art“-Produktionen verpackt – unterfüttert von Beats und Grooves, die auch den letzten Tanz-Widerständler noch ins Zucken bringen, mit einem ordentlichen Schuss an allem, was sonst noch trendy ist unter der internationalen Hipster-Sonne.

Marko Marković Brass Band - the younger generation of Balkan Brass drives the genre to the next level.

Global urban Crossover is the order of the day: the foundation is and remains the abundant treasure trove of the Serbia's folk music. Left untouched is the analogue sound – conventional wind instruments conventionally played.

Being the son of Balkan Brass' official superstar Boban Marković, it's not a big miracle that junior Marko took to the trumpet as soon as he could hold it - he slipped from under the family wings altogether and now roams the international stages as his own master with his own band to conquer the entire world. Contemporary production up to the latest international standards with an undercurrent of beats and grooves that will make even the most resistive of anti-dancers start to itch!

Master of Ceremonies at the LIDO BERLIN with an furious BalkanBeats DJ Set set for this night is Robert Soko.

Berlin's BalkanBeats top dog, a Bosnian native who arrived in the city in 1990, originally had little to do with Balkan Brass, Balkan Pop and Balkan Rock. It was only when living in the diasporas that he heard the call of his ancestors. When he finally did, he immersed in his heritage totally - dug for the roots and modelled his BalkanBeats into a smash with the audience that has not lost one iota of its appeal and impact over the years. High spirits and dance craze guaranteed.

Contemporary urban, lots of Indie and Alternative flair. And not the least bit old-fashioned Oompah style, don't worry!

Just like Marko Markovic – a double bill on a par with each other entirely!
