Maxmaber Orkestar formed in 2003 in Trieste, the Austro-Hungarian port where Central Europe meets the Mediterranean: a city which is a natural bridge between Eastern and Western Europe. Voices, accordion, sax, violin, guitar, drums and double bass will guide you on a journey through the folk traditions of Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. Klezmer, traditional Italian and Yugoslavian songs, waltzes and mazurkas, gypsy music, Bosnian ‘sevdalinke’ and dances from Serbia and Macedonia weave together in a sound both happy and melancholic.
