The ensemble consists of <strong>seven members from different parts of the world<\/strong> (Serbia, France, Greece, Italy, Spain and Ukraine), who are united by the diversity of cultures and musical backgrounds they carry, great energy and love for Balkan music.

What will you play in front of the Novi Sad audience on 6 March and what are <\/strong><strong>your expectations?<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Julien Chanal<\/strong>: \u00a0Due to Covid restrictions this winter it has been hard to rehearse and practice with the band. Nevertheless, we&#8217;ve been working on a few new songs that we are eager to test with our public!<\/p><p><strong>Your ensemble symbolizes the unity of different <\/strong><strong>nationalities and customs, since each member of the band comes from a different <\/strong><strong>country. How would you describe this synergy of cultures and the mutual <\/strong><strong>cooperation of musicians from different backgrounds, which results in great <\/strong><strong>music?<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Julien Chanal:<\/strong> The fact that we come from different cultures and even<br \/>musical genres is exactly what made our sound. We spend time sharing and testing,<br \/>even arguing, I might say, about each other\u2019 s musical ideas, and each musician<br \/>brings his\/her own repertoire proposal from his\/her culture and musical<br \/>background. It has been really enriching for each one of us, and that is what<br \/>keeps us going too.<\/p><p><strong>Although the band includes musicians from all over <\/strong><strong>the world, you are all stationed in Barcelona. How does the local audience <\/strong><strong>accept Balkan music?<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Julien Chanal<\/strong>: When we started, there was not really an audience for this music in Barcelona, mainly because people didn&#8217;t know much about it&#8230; But little by little and thanks to the gipsy balkan jam sessions we organized every week, more and more people<br \/>gathered around this music. Now there is a real balkan music scene in<br \/>Barcelona!<\/p><p><strong>What is special about Balkan music, how do you <\/strong><strong>experience it? What is crucial for choosing the songs you cover, write and <\/strong><strong>compose?<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Julien Chanal<\/strong>: Balkan music is like any traditional music, it&#8217;s full of history and lead by powerful melodies. It&#8217;s direct and speaks straight to the heart. The balkan part of it adds its rich odd beats, opening and widening a lot of possibilities, as much for arranging as for composing. We choose our songs to play based on the musical material rather than a particular version. We usually tend to look for old songs that have a melody and harmony<br \/>that speak to us, and that inspire us to rearrange them in our sound.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f4c0d2a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f4c0d2a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4f69fb7\" data-id=\"4f69fb7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be1605e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"be1605e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2022\/03\/OVU-KORISTIT-BGKO_PROMO-NOVI-SAD-DSF4742-2-1-1024x781.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-30515\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2022\/03\/OVU-KORISTIT-BGKO_PROMO-NOVI-SAD-DSF4742-2-1-1024x781.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2022\/03\/OVU-KORISTIT-BGKO_PROMO-NOVI-SAD-DSF4742-2-1-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2022\/03\/OVU-KORISTIT-BGKO_PROMO-NOVI-SAD-DSF4742-2-1-768x586.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visitdistrikt.rs\/media\/2022\/03\/OVU-KORISTIT-BGKO_PROMO-NOVI-SAD-DSF4742-2-1.jpg 1164w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bf20cf5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bf20cf5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-88dce6b\" data-id=\"88dce6b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ff9cc6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ff9cc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>How do you do so well in singing in different <\/strong><strong>languages?<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Margherita Abita<\/strong>: Thank you!

It&#8217;s a long process until the singing sounds<br \/>correct and also natural&#8230; but this process is becoming shorter, because the<br \/>more I learn new song in each language, the more I understand the phonetic and<br \/>the mechanism of this languages. Of course I don&#8217;t pronounce like a native speaker, but I think these light imperfections give a special and spontaneous touch to our music. One thing is certain: in every interpretation I do, I always put my entire soul into it.<\/p><p><strong>Your band is celebrating a decade of existence\u00a0this year.

For me, it has always been a symbol of culture, nice people, great friends and incredible food. It has something that you cannot find in Belgrade. Some closeness that capitals cannot have. Maybe that\u2019s the reason I&#8217;ve moved to Barcelona, city that is, compared to Madrid, kinda similar to the difference between Novi Sad and Belgrade. I saw some similarities between those two cities in my first month in the Catalan capital. In Novi Sad we&#8217;ve played many times in different clubs and theaters and it was always a hell of a party. You can see how mixture of people with different cultures and roots made that city and creates a unique identity. That makes the color of Novi Sad very special and we hope it will never change.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Author:<\/b> Marina Mari\u0107\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Photo: Jordi Oliver<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-25509ce elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"25509ce\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b91d8cf\" data-id=\"b91d8cf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Balkan music is like any traditional music, it&#8217;s full of history and lead by powerful melodies.
