Balkan brass

Balkan brass, popularly known by the Serbian name Truba (Serbian Cyrillic: Труба, "Trumpet"), is a style of music originating in the Balkan region as a fusion between military music and folk music. It is popular in the Balkans, especially in Serbia, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Romania. The style has influenced techno-synth fusion songs as well as pop music songs such as Worth It by Fifth Harmony and Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo. The energetic and fast beats and loud performances encourage dance and audience participation and are egalitarian. Common dances to the music include a kolo, a traditional South Slavic communal dance. Performers are called trubači (трубачи) in the Serbo-Croatian, or less commonly, trubari. Romani people have adopted the tradition and make up a large percentage of Balkan brass bands. Notable performers include Goran Bregović, Boban Marković, Fanfare Ciocărlia, and New York-based Balkan Beat Box. The Amsterdam Klezmer Band fused the Balkan sound with other genres including Klezmer, electronic music, and Ska. DJs and producers, most prominently Shantel from Germany, successfully mixed Serbian Brass with electronic beats. DJ Robert Soko's has organize
