Balkanology lives again

The most talked about cult event of the season is just around the corner. Balkanology is back on Thursday, 9 April 2009 at Bloemendal. The Balkanology parties in South Africa were first launched in June 2006 by Event Director Ma'or Harris and a distinctive, highly talented group of collaborators. After five hit parties with numbers growing from 500 to 3 000, Balkanology has created a powerful brand synonymous with zest, energy and a theatrical music experience.

Balkanology is styled in the way of traditional Eastern European gypsy camps. The party is an opportunity to lose your inhibitions for a night, enjoy the madness of DJ's and musicians performing a remixed fusion of Gypsy, Serbian, Macedonian, Bulgarian and Romanian melodies. As well as theatre performances and market.

Lineup:

• Kolo Novo Movie Band - founded by musical director, Grada Djeri specifically for Balkanology and featuring some of the biggest names in SA music
• Top Balkan DJ, Robert Soko (of BalkanBeats) - the Croatian from Germany
• DJ Toby2shoes - the ambassador for Balkan-gypsy-folk in SA
