Balkanik! Festival
Quinta edizione di uno tra i più importanti festival internazionali di musica del Sud-Est Europa
The Festival is an annual celebration of roots music, brass bands, multiculturalism, traditions and the art of the Balkans, joint together in Uranus Garden, a historical site, near the House of People, which provides a fantastic backdrop, in the center of Bucharest, the capital city of Romania. The Uranus Garden is what remains unspoiled by the communist urban plan of destroying the neighborhood.
With a second stage set indoors, this year the party will be ongoing for 3 days.
Among the confirmed bands in the line-up are: Shantel and Bukovina Club Orkestra (Germany), Fanfare Ciocârlia (Romania), Kocani Orkestra (Macedonia), Ivo Papasov and his Wedding Band (Bulgaria), Amsterdam Klezmer Band (Netherlands) and Lemon Bucket Orkestra (Canada).
The handicrafts fair in Balkanik! Festival brings together the best traditional artisans from all the regions of the country and various ethnic groups and young plastic artists who aim at carrying the rare and unique traditions forward, in the context of industrialization and globalization.
Painting, photography and sculpture exhibitions play a major role in the mise-en-scene of the festival’s locations, Uranus Garden (outdoor) and The Ark (indoor) and the sitting areas are most bohemian and traditional, set up by designers who place the hammocks, hay couches and other unconventional elements, in order to create a magical, unique atmosphere.
