Balkan Express with Lele Lele Orchestra
Event Information
Description
Melange Global Beats Club welcomes you to The Ultimate Balkan Groove /Folk/World Music with LELE LELE ORCHESTRA
Lele Lele (meaning ”Oh my!” in Bulgarian) is a one of a kind Bulgarian-Swedish band providing hot danceable Bulgarian and Roma grooves. The group has performed music from the Balkans since 2003 and is still exploring the endless possibilities through different collaborations. The band released their first studio album in 2009 (DartBird Music) which contains an exciting mix of Bulgarian and Indian music.
Odd meters, wild improvisations, daring arrangements, lyrical preludiums, dance performances and a feeling of pop are a few of the elements that are boiling together in Lele Lele Orchestras hot Bulgarian pot.The solid base is the Bulgarian folk music that the band delicately arranges for Bulgarian tamboura, gadulka, voices, wind instruments, tuba, and tupan drum. This year (2017) the bands new album "When the light goes" is out and got celebrated at Stallet in Stockholm 5 May 2017.
Line-up
Sonya Bakoeva – vocals & tupan
Mihail Dinchev – tambura, vocals & dance
Todor Bakoev – gadulka & gaida (bagpipe)
Stian Grimstad – tuba
Moa Danielson – tupan
Lele Lele Orchestra does an interactive live performance where the band often ends up in the audience and involves it in ring dancing and singing. Thus the group suits both a listening audience and a wild-Balkan-party.

Like Music Fusion Collective, MELANGE, Global Beats Club, aims to provide more opportunities to talented musicians based in Stockholm, to not only have more regular gigs, but as well support them to develop other important skills like, organization of events, found raising, networking ...
MELANGE will consist of a series of thematic nights, taking place every Friday and Saturday, at The Big Ben Pub, Folkungagatan 97. For each night we are creating a different music journey! For that purpose, we have invited talented musicians and event organizers, within diverse music styles, to collaborate with us creating a number of monthly events, to be launched in September!
In common, all these events aim to provide the opportunity to the public to actively participate on the night performances, by organizing different workshops (dance, percussion, song writing, improvisation ...) connected to the live music shows!
