The Balkan Village Band is a community ensemble who share a passion for Eastern European and Balkan Gypsy music. Join us for our Autumn gig at the Gallery Cafe, our 'home' venue.

Expect apart from huge fun some dance tunes, quirky improvised solos, weird rhythms and a few debuts of our new arrangements. Led and taught by violinist, singer and ethnomusicologist Gundula Stojanova Gruen, the group performs a wide repertoire of soulful songs and wild dance tunes from many regions South and East of the Danube.

Audiences love the Balkan Village Band for its performance energy, which reflects the dedication, and the fun the musicians have playing together. Past performances include the Gallery Café, Bethnal Green, the Ritzy, Brixton, Portsmouth Dark Fest and Hampstead Heath Band Stand.

"The Balkan Village Band radiate electricity with each performance" - Sarah W at The Ritzy. Tags
