Tram des Balkans

Tram des Balkans is a raucous French collective known for turbocharging Balkan brass traditions with punk energy and electronic experimentation. Born from Lyon's vibrant street music scene, this brass-powered gang has been causing dancefloor chaos since the late 2000s with their "Balkan turbo folk" mashups. Their live shows are sweaty carnivals of trumpets, accordions, and electric beats, bouncing between traditional Romani melodies and wild covers of pop hits (their "Rubber Man" track nods to Radiohead's creep into a gypsy punk spiral). Recent releases like "En cavale" and "Ninanina Pizzica" capture their signature clash of tavern-ready folk rhythms and moshpit-ready intensity, perfect for festivals wanting to turn crowds into whirling dervishes with a side of rock rebellion.
