Balkanalia bring Balkan party music to the masses, effortlessly marrying authenticity and entertainment with our slick and relentlessly upbeat take on authentic Roma, Balkan and Eastern European tunes. We add a few tiny touches of cabaret, middle eastern, Jewish, gypsy jazz and southern European music, but our genuine respect and passion for the musicians and cultures whose music we perform shines through, enhanced but never overpowered by our dedication to the art of creating a party for any audience, any time and any place.
Our frontwoman Sarah's rich voice and emotional and passionate singing style combine with her natural flamboyance and showmanship to entrance every audience. Meanwhile the driving rhythms, powerful brass riffs, pounding percussion breaks and soaring violin and clarinet ensure that your guests have no choice but to stay on the dance floor.
