With their blend of Balkan, Polka, World, Brass and Jazz, the ten boys with Swiss-Bosnian-Algerian roots do not sound like a typical Balkan pop band at all. Melancholic Sevdah melodies trade places with tight horn passages, which are driven by a groovy rhythm section. On their current album “No Man’s Land” (2018), the two frontmen alternately sing in - and switch seamlessly between - Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, French, and Algerian. Sounds like Babylon language confusion? Indeed it is. Yet music that seduces us to dance is a language we all understand.
