“stretching the language to new, unimagined possibilities and welding it to new musical forms...” - Irish Times
Balkan Alien Sound specialise in the gypsy and folk music of Eastern Europe and the Balkan regions. They formed in 2007 due to an interest gained by travel and study of Klezmer music and the folk music of Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey.
Upbeat rhythms and odd time signatures are a key part of the band’s live performance with fast and furious melodies demanding to be danced to as well as authentic vocals sung in regional styles. | | | | | | Tickets £7.00 | | | | | |  | | | | | | Tickets also available from the Belfast Welcome Centre on 028 9024 6609 | | | | |
