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 from the love of music from the Balkans and became a much sought-after folklore band in the greater Bay Area. The group has veterans from many excellent folklore bands such as the People’s International Silver
String Macedonian Band, Born to Drone, Westwind, Sviraci, and the Slavonian Traveling Band. The band plays with emphasis on Bulgarian, Macedonian, and ex-Yugoslav traditions. 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.
Greetings from the whole band! See you soon!
