Slonovski Bal

Slonovski bal breathes a wind native to the central European Balkans. A perfumed wind, blended with the centennial epic of the Gypsies and a unique mix of European, Slavic, Turkish and Mediterrennean cultures, wich brought us a unique tradition of oriental brass band music.Grooving with the roaring sounds of tubas, the water-flow of the accordeon, the tender whisper of the clarinet or the blasting clamour of the trumpet, Slonovski Bal steps out like a herb of young elephants joggling through this oriental breeze.Slonovski bal, wich means "the Elephant's Bal" in serbian, is on the top-flight revival of Eastern European music, both there and here, totaly involved in the evolution of composition and improvisation. In this way they crosses Europe boosted by the luminous energy of such dances as Coceks, Sa-Sa and devilish Kolos played at the speed of light and thunder.
