HAÏDOUTI ORKESTAR

Flamboyant brass, vivid percussion, virtuoso accordion, sweet and racy voice! Here is the Haïdouti Orkestar team, which has been wandering for twelve years on the borders of the Balkans, Turkey and the East.

Result of a surprising crossing of French, Greek, Bulgarian, Turkish and Gypsy musicians from Serbia, the Haïdouti shares his love for the music of peoples, sailing between Kurdish, Azeri, Armenian but also Gypsy and Syro-Lebanese songs. Their fourth album is the fruit of this musical babel forged through encounters and journeys to the borders of East and West.

“After almost 10 years of collaboration, I wanted to make this little summer tour with Haïdouti Orkestar, composed of musicians coming from all over Europe. Eastern Europe, North Africa, Northern Europe, Andalusia, Middle East, etc. ”
