Masters of great atmosphere, Paprika Balkanicus are fast becoming one of the hottest newcomers in world music. Their electrifying show of fantastic musicianship and witty stage presence will have you tapping your toes and bursting to bop right out of your seat.

These virtuoso musicians from Romania, Serbia and Slovenia on violin, guitar, double bass and accordion play a fiery blend of traditional and Gypsy music from the Balkan Peninsula’s incredible musical history.

Described as a gypsy riot, they have already won themselves a substantial following in the UK, Europe and Japan.

From silky-smooth stroking tones to lightning-speed furious arpeggios, violinist Bogdan Vacarescu's blurred fingers lure some of the most beautiful and passionate melodies ever written for violin. Next to him Jozef Secnik on double bass and Vlad Jocic on guitar provide an intriguing harmonic foundation of frequently odd rhythms with unpredictable solo eruptions.
