The Balkanoes

A Friday night of roaring klezmer, Balkan and world folk at Jamboree with the brilliant Balkanoes and Bitter Blossoms! The band fuse Eastern European and Jewish music with a joyous energy to guarantee a Balkan bash of mammoth proportions. Moving seamlessly from traditional klezmer to gypsy grooves and unique takes on well-known classics, this ferociously fine 9-piece band mix up a goulash of Balkan brass and fiddle with klezmer flavours so to create a hot, soulful party music that always gets audiences dancing with joy! In support, Bitter Blossoms is an exciting new vocal trio drawing on folklore and tradition from their own home countries - Norway, Bulgaria, and England - creating a show akin to the ensemble name itself ? simple and beautiful, but with an undertone of a darker nature. They combine their skills and knowledge of traditional and classical music to create a unique performance of songs, stories, and tunes.
