To all Balkans here,is there a musician known or little known/cult for their style like mixing modern and traditional instruments etc.

Before they broke up they did two ethnometal songs, cover of Macedonian song Jovka Kumanovka and this one which is an original piece. It's basically a funeral song:

Pusta goro da l' bi bila Mome dragom mati mila,

Desolete mountain would you be To my darling mother dear

Studen' vodom milovala, Rosnim poljem pokrivala,

Caress him with cold water Cover him with mildewed field

Majko moja...?

Oh my mother?

Tu mi moje drago spava, Pod kamenom zlatna glava.

Thats where my darling sleeps Under a rock a golden head

Žalna li si majko stara, Što ga skriva zelen' trava?

Are you moraning old mother That with green grass he is covered

Drago moje... Zlato moje...

My dear.. my gold..

Uspavaj ga pesmo moja!

Oh my song make him sleep!

No biggie dude - i love this kind of stuff. Means our cultures acutually live not just paraded around as trophies. 🙂

[-]

xesnoteleks@reddit

We should make a festival of all of these balkan folk rock bands

[-]

HumanMan00@reddit

You'd have to really watch who has access to the concerts. 😔 imahine if your average nayionalists met at this kind of event.

[-]

xesnoteleks@reddit

eh, they usually don't visit these sorts of festivals. but we'd be sharing free weed so they'd all just chill

[-]

SabziZindagi@reddit

Nice, thank you!

[-]

Lonely-Sunbed-2508@reddit

We have Villagers Of Ioannina City among others

[-]

IlijaHornjak@reddit

xesnoteleks@reddit

Man, i fucking love that band. Can't wait for the new album. I haven't been so excited about new music for a very long time.

[-]

IlijaHornjak@reddit

New album is coming?

Fenomenalni su bili u Novom Sadu pre nekoliko godina.

[-]

Pmike9@reddit

Thanks for introducing me to this band! Sounds awesome.

[-]

Specific-Taste7469@reddit

I knew them before and that album is amazing!

[-]

BurgurluGenc031@reddit (OP)

[-]

xesnoteleks@reddit

Vice Versa - Kraken

Mix of traditional Dalmatian "klapa" music (Acapella group singing & mandolin) and metal.

rewarrr@reddit

It’s not Balkan, but this guy uses a lot of Balkan instruments and an overall Balkan atmosphere. His name is Egorr. Check this for example : Houmous

[-]

BaroqueGod@reddit

maybe Milan Stankovic

[-]

TurkOmbre@reddit

I've never understood why Hayko Cepkin has so many fans, I find his work really bad and low-quality.

[-]

Specific-Taste7469@reddit

Among local artists in the country, his shows are in a league of their own. Whether you like his music or not, that’s a fact.

[-]

BurgurluGenc031@reddit (OP)

why so?

[-]

TurkOmbre@reddit

His songs and music are so bad and weird

[-]

yamankara@reddit

It's really bad and weird to call art weird.

[-]

Baturing@reddit

What a stupid thing to say about something so personal and subjective.

[-]

sht-magnet@reddit

It is very subjective. People seem to like his work. (At least in 2010s he was super famous.)

[-]

Quarvoynne@reddit

That's a personal opinion, that's why. Everyone has their own opinions.

[-]

tabulasomnia@reddit

he's a great guy tho

[-]

TurkOmbre@reddit

Are you talking about his personality or his works?

[-]

tabulasomnia@reddit

personality/public image. his music always leaves something to be desired, at least for me.

[-]

TurkOmbre@reddit

Kindness alone is not enough to excel in this world (Maybe in another world)

[-]

Far_EasternRo@reddit

Subcarpati in Ro, I think.

[-]

Sea_Stomach5930@reddit

Kries, in Croatia

[-]

HumanMan00@reddit

I cant decide if i like Kries or Veja more.

[-]

Specific-Taste7469@reddit

Anatolian rock basically.

Anatolian rock revial project

You already know us.

Greece has VIC and Thrax Punks.

Romania has E-an-na.

Kiril Džajkovski, here's an example of his music:

BurgurluGenc031@reddit (OP)

Beginning was enough to yoink this to library. Thanks.

[-]

xesnoteleks@reddit

You also reminded me of the band, and I realized they have some new releases.

Signal_Intention6774@reddit

The Goats Dragostea Din Tei are always fun. Moldova is Balkans right. I dont know for sure tbh.

[-]

xesnoteleks@reddit

Gavranovi (or "Ravens" in English) is an interesting one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPHSQkB7BGQ

[-]

BurgurluGenc031@reddit (OP)

Sounds like modern viking war music. Definitely gonna add it to my music library.

[-]

xesnoteleks@reddit

It's gusle and black metal. Works surprisingly well together.

[-]

Final-Nebula-7049@reddit

my favorite would be Mogollar, Yeni Turku, and to some extent Bulutsuzluk Ozlemi.

[-]

Hyllius1@reddit

I believe "Grupi Jericho" does a good job. Their genre is rock but they mix in traditional instruments and tones too.

[-]

TanktopSamurai@reddit

If we go a bit more modern, Dedublüman is very good as well. Their inclusion of clarinet is Anatolia rock is superb.

[-]

slysmile@reddit

I'd go with Pentagram before Hayko.

Here's one of the best performances of their (in my opinion) best song from a concert in 2007: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0SPAIISVyA

BurgurluGenc031@reddit (OP)
