A BRIDGE FOR BALKAN MUSIC
Not only is BALKAN:MOST a freakishly good festival, it is also the closing party of a four-year-long European project, MOST Music. ‘MOST’ means bridge in many Slavic languages, symbolising the project’s goal to connect the Balkan world music market to the rest of Europe. This ambitious project, led by the Hungarian world music company, Hangveto, wants to see a close-knit European music market with strong regional brands such as the Balkans.
REWRITE STEREOTYPES
With 30 bands and musicians, over 80 young managers, and 60 festivals and clubs involved, MOST signifies an unprecedented rise in the representation and recognition of Balkan world music internationally. The project oversaw the rise of Balkan artists to international fame, the implementation of many professional training sessions, networking events, and traineeships – countless seized opportunities.
Come along, as we celebrate at BALKAN:MOST! Let’s cheer for the MOST Music project’s achievements and enjoy the awesome lineup starred by MOST musicians.
