Ziveli Orkestar

Ziveli Orkestar is a vibrant ensemble inspired by the fiery fanfares of Serbia. Formed in June 2006, the band is a blend of cultural influences, with roots in a Yugoslavian father and a Parisian mother. Over the years, they have developed a unique sound that captures the richness and energy of Balkan music. Their discography includes albums like "La Peau de l'Ours" (2010) and "La Grande Ourse" (2012), showcasing their ability to blend traditional rhythms with original compositions. More recently, they have released "Balkan Spritz," a testament to their ongoing passion for Balkan music.

Ziveli Orkestar's music is characterized by its dynamic energy, drawing from a wide range of influences, including Second Line from Louisiana and Qawwalî Sufi traditions. This diversity allows them to create a captivating experience for their audiences, transporting listeners from the Parisian suburbs to the shores of the Bosphorus. Through their performances, they aim to share the joy and festive spirit inherent in Balkan culture. Their releases, such as "Balkan Spritz," "Bazire," "Oro Kalifornija," "Yashaaa...!!!," "La Grande Ourse," and "La peau de l'ours," reflect their eclectic blend of traditional and modern styles.
