Brass Noir - On the Trans-Balkan Highway
Brass Noir presents some of the most renowned artists of the Balkan, seleced by DJ Robert Soko the inventor of the popular BalkanBeat Party, featuring Boban i Marko Markovic Orkestar, the undisputed kings of Balkan Brass and Fanfare Ciocarlia, the fastest Brass Band in the world, both known from the internationally successful Balkan Brass Battle.
The Balkan's Autoput is like Germany's Autobahn. Initiated by Marshall Tito in the 50ies as the "Road of Brotherhood and Unity", in the 60ies and 70ies it became the much frequented holiday route for Yugo, Greek and Turkish "Gastarbeiter" from Germany and Austria, tourists to southeastern Europe and exhausted lorry drivers
heading for the Orient.
Today you can again drive along it in peace, but take care: the historical labyrinth is always there. Here is the soundtrack to cruise your own trans-balkan highway, between love and disaster, violence and melancholy, romance and abyss.
