@denys.kinchev - Denys Kinchev is a Ukrainian virtuoso balalaika artist, composer, and arranger known for modernizing the instrument by blending folk, classical, and jazz.

Mihajlo, from Ruski Krstur, is recognized by this community as an expert in performing and leading Serbian and Balkan folk dances.

@bucanbucan - Born on the stages, street corners and festival fields of Victoria BC in 2010, Bučan Bučan combines traditional Eastern European Balkan Brass songs with a high-energy dance party. They find their sound from Romania, Serbia, Romani, Turkey, old Macedonia and surrounding areas. With a cadre of brass instruments, clarinet and violin, they add bass and drums to create a modern old-world sound.
@sinaroza_brass - Sindikat Sina Roza is Seattle’s only dedicated Balkan brass band, founded in 2024 to bring high-energy, participatory folk music to the Pacific Northwest. The band plays raucous, soulful, and dance-focused music inspired by Balkan Romani traditions, with a commitment to anti-fascist, anti-capitalist values and cultural respect.
