MULTI KULTI PANDORA’S VASE
~ Marianne, Rome, Italy
Hello, a new friday and a new Balkan kinda Blog
this time whit a little peep into the world of the most amasing kind of music of them all, the so called BALKAN BEAT, this name was given by Robert Soko, a young bosnian refugee in Berlin, in the beginning of the 90′ ,he started to be interested in his roots music, he grew up whit punk, and was already a DJ at ex yogoslavic’s meet up’s in berlin, he started to mix the 2 things.
in 20 years, it has enriched and covered mixes, and contermination whit almost any other music..and this today brings hordes of crazy dancers, regularly going mad, all over Europe, and is now slowly claiming it’s space in Rome to.
so here you will have a few of my fave peaces, those that will never have to leave my sets for other songs……this is a remix of DJ Dunkelbunt

Next video must before KULTUR SHOCK, a historic band born ause of a bunch of immigrants in Seattle, this band is the pure essence of Multi kulti, and close to be a concept, more than just a band,
