Opa Rosa

Fast gaining a reputation as one of Bristol’s most dynamic and virtuosic bands, Opa Rosa are an energetic acoustic ensemble sharing music from the Klezmer, Balkan, Greek & Roma traditions. With several combined decades of study and experience, all five musicians are well-versed in the musical traditions’ syntax and significance, capturing all the joy and sorrow that these traditions are so renowned for expressing.

Enjoy a collection of vibrant and soulful melodies played with fiery precision and let Opa Rosa take you on a foot-stomping journey through the Balkans and beyond!

Raka

Raka are an 8-piece ensemble that play traditional music from the Balkans. The unmistakable groove of Raka brings everyone to their feet. Their music has a strong focus in the folk traditions of Bulgaria and Macedonia , as well as the Romani music that span far and wide across the Balkans. Raka’s meandering musical tributaries have all led them to one communal river. They bring to life a genuinely authentic repertoire wherever we are, from sweaty back rooms of North London clubs to concert halls on the banks of the Thames. https://eartrumpetmusic.co.uk
