Taking its name from an old term for a clay vessel, the Bakalina Duo consists of singer Jani Kutin and accordionist Renata Lapanja. Both musicians originate from the hills surrounding the town of Tolmin and address their audiences in the local dialect. This native language not only permeates their music, but is also embedded in its innermost core. Standard words do not come close to capturing the essence of their sound.

The perfectly chaotic focus of the Ljubljana-based art duo is sustained by Kristin Čona, Andrej Pervanje and their visual artist Alessandro di Giampietro. Their experimental audio-visual experience plays with the hypnotic guitar rhythms, a retro matrix and provocative singing about the banality of everyday life, often pierced by resounding cries and sharp whistling.

The Balkan Boys blend the elements of Balkan music, ethno/folk music and mix them with the rhythms of ska and rhumba.
