Da! Mozhem and the Nema Problema Chorale play and
sing high-energy pan-Balkan music for the joy of dancing. A group of friends started playing together many years ago, brought together by the love of music from the Balkans and beyond. Over time, Da! Mozhem has become a much-sought-after folklore band in the
greater Bay Area. The group has veterans from many excellent folk groups, such as the People’s International Silver String Macedonian Band, Born to Drone, Westwind, Sviraci, and the Slavonian Traveling Band. Our repertoire emphasizes Bulgarian, Macedonian,
and ex-Yugoslav traditions, but we also branch out to play dance music for many other cultures. Several members frequently travel to the Balkans to learn more about the folkloric music of the region. The group plays on traditional instruments unique to the
region as well as modern instruments.
