Kef plays village dance music of the Balkans. With our unique instrumentation consisting of trumpet, truba (a type of flugelhorn commonly used in the Balkans), accordion, cello, drums and vocals, we cover styles from the early days of recorded music in Bulgaria, village and urban songs of Macedonia and Albania, to the latest Romani ("Gypsy") brass band and Bulgarian wedding music. A mixture of thrilling tunes in odd meters executed at high speed and beautiful slow melodies expressing the joy and despair of life provide for the enjoyment of dancers and listeners alike.
News: Our first CD is now available.
