Balkan Brass Battle Tour kicks off big

"It has the air of a boxing match with a rowdy and expectant crowd. On the left, one trumpeter appears, on the right, another. They eye each other up and as you are distracted by the musical phrases they are swapping, an army of musicians appears behind each of them. It's the night after the Eurovision Song Contest, but you feel it's a much more fiercely fought competition that is about to take place." That's what The Guardian wrote about their gig in Budapest.

The Balkan Brass Battle is touring successfully through European cities and the competition for the title "King of Balkan Brass" is getting tighter. Watch out for the gig in your town because for Leipzig, Berlin and Gent are only few tickets left.
