"Danubius is great. Especially live." SF Bay Guardian

What is Danubius?
|
We present Eastern European and
Balkan music to San Francisco Bay Area audiences ranging from restaurant
patrons to folk dancers. The traditional forms of the music are preserved, and
at the same time given new life with our arrangements and interpretation.
This isn't "world music", some mish-mosh poured out of a blender. A Danubius performance combines hard-driving Southern Romanian tunes, Hungarian Gypsy restaurant favorites, Bulgarian dances and Macedonian melodies, juxtaposed to make a tapestry of sound while preserving the character of each distinct musical style. |
|
The members of the group
have spent time in Eastern Europe and the Balkans, and studied the forms and
styles with master musicians. (Our name comes from the river Danube, which
winds through and around most of the countries whose music we play: Hungary,
Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia.)
We're available for your festive occasion: weddings, birthday parties, company parties, going-away parties, etc. |
