Биография

Since they began their journey in early 2015 in Barcelona, Balkan Paradise Orchestra has shown, in each and every performance, their potential as an unusual and ground-breaking group. Composed by wind and percussion players, the BPO has a surprising capacity to generate empathy with the public, bringing joy and desire to dance in every corner of the world. Despite taking as a starting point the sounds of Balkan roots, their compositions mix different rhythms and traditions worldwide, resulting in an eclectic and festive music. In its beginnings, BPO won different Spanish prizes which helped them release their first album, K’ataka. In 2020 the band released their second album, "Odissea", inspired by Homer’s Odyssey and 2001: The Kubrick’s Space Odyssey. Later in 2021, BPO created a new project called "Game Sessions", an EP based on four tracks from their latest album "Odissea". This 2023 BPO premieres “Catarsis”, its new show. “Catarsis” symbolizes the moment of emotional release through music, movement and the party feeling that BPO transmits in their concerts. The energy shared between the band and the audience makes this catharsis possible; a unique and powerful show, whose choreographic staging blends perfectly with their original music proposal. After having premiered the concert in New York, BPO will travel from Barcelona to many cities of the Iberian Peninsula, Europe, America and Asia in what will be their most international tour.
