Balkan Boys is a Slovenian band with a Balkan soul. They
represent the true meaning and purpose of Balkan music – love, positive energy
and good vibes. Their energetic stage performance is a perfect example of what
happens when you mix balkan melos with rhythms of the world: rumba, ska, swing,
reggae. It's a unique combination!
Energy on stage, great improvisation and perfected music
performance take audiences to a whole new level!
It all began in 2007 when singer and trumpet player Rok
Nemanič Nemo first travelled to the heart of Balkan music – Guča Festival. Soon
after that, he went to listen a show of Fanfare Ciocarlia. He was determined to
put together a band of young academic musicians and start a brand new story;
something never before seen or heard in Slovenia.
Since then, the band shared stages with many famous
musicians in both Slovenia and abroad (Goran Bregovič, Vlado Kreslin, Dubioza
Kolektiv, Lado Bizovičar, Mari Mata Hari, Zlatko etc.).
