Barcelona Gipsy BalKan Orchestra – Barcelona
Born in Barcelona in 2012, The BGKO leads its inspiration to a wider musical genre, Balkan music, understood as a set of musical traditions and a multi-ethnic culture that go beyond its geographical boundaries and draws on all those historical traditions that have once inhabited those lands. This list of countries visited to more than 35 and translates into a growing international projection, even going beyond the confines of Europe to visit Canada and the United States.
BGKO, true to its origins, continues traveling a path long begun, eager to investigate new sounds and expand the long worldwide list of places to perform, experience and learn. This new chapter is marked by the invaluable collaboration of Margherita Abita, a vital breath of fresh air with whom the BGKO embarks on this new trajectory.
A new powerful album, “Nova Era” (Oct. 2020) is released, reafirming BGKO as one of the most acclaimed bands in traditional music interpretation, respecting the ancestors while living in our times, encompassing qualities ranging from classical to modern music.
October 2021 comes with the first of a series of new singles and videos. “More Sokol Pie” debuted in its first week with more than 70.000 views on BGKO YouTube channel, where we have already reached 150.000 followers and more than 75M views.
January 2022 brings the successful release of “Cu Ti Lu Dissi” , in a year in which we walk with enthusiasm into our 10th anniversary, with six studio albums, and new music coming …. our own compositions and new arrangements of traditional music.
