Balklavalhau (CL, PT, PL, BR, DE)

Balklavalhau was born as the result of a group of people from various corners of the world who started meeting regularly during 2020 at an old tavern in Porto, Portugal, sharing their knowledge and passion for Balkan, Turkish & Middle Eastern musical heritage. After realizing how well they understood each other within these languages, they decided to develop themselves further as a band. Henceforth, they started working their own original compositions as well, mostly based upon Balkan traditional music, but also bringing the folk heritage from their own & others, such as flamenco, chilean cueca, slavic polyphonies, gipsy jazz, etc.

Skupina posameznikov iz različnih koncev sveta se leta 2020 začela redno zbirati v stari taverni v Portu na Portugalskem, kjer so si izmenjevali znanje in strast do balkanske, turške in bližnjevzhodne glasbene dediščine. Ko so ugotovili, kako dobro se razumejo v teh "jezikih", so se odločili, da se kot zasedba razvijajo naprej. Začeli so ustvarjati tudi lastne avtorske skladbe, ki temeljijo predvsem na balkanski tradicionalni glasbi, a vključujejo tudi ljudsko izročilo iz njihovih lastnih (in drugih) kultur, kot so flamenco, čilska cueca, slovanske polifonije, ciganski jazz itd.
