Balkan Express' Reviews

5 out of 5

Fantastic Balkan musical performance (including requests), great variety in the set, easy going individuals and easy communication. Couldn't have gone smoother, just what I needed with the chaos surrounding celebrating my business's 5th birthday! Thank you Balkan Express! :)

Tatcho Drom's energy is contagious and that carried across the audience tonight
