Balkan Beat / OneWorldMusic from Germany

Dashing full speed from stage to stage in Germany, the Absinto Orkestra is one of the Balkan-Beat Express' haul engines. And this is going on for than 15 years. Inspired by the mesmerizing rhythms of eastern european wedding music, five musicians tell their very own story: A story about the violine players love for classical music, the guitar players passion for Django Reinhardt, the saxophone players devotion for Jazz and the russian origin of the bass player as well as the bessarabian roots of the mandolin player.

Absito live on the stage is not only an irresistible invitation to sing and dance and clap along. It is also like celebrating anthems of life comprising everything that makes up our short existance: love, evanescence, desire, melancholy and frenzy.
