Balkan Trafik celebrates its 5th birthday in style
A birthday edition calls for firew orks – and there will be no shortage of those during the fifth
edition of the Balkan Trafik festival. The line-up includes big names like Bregov ić w ith a unique
new project, the latest Tanov ić film and the Marković orchestra, but also the Balkan Boat, a
festiv e cruise on the Brussels canal!
This year sees the fifth edition of Balkan Trafik! Once again, the festival, which takes place over
several days in the Centre for Fine Arts, promises a colourful mix of cultures, unique in Europe. From
Thursday 14 to Sunday 17 April the festival offers music, film, theatre, dance, and w orkshops
from all over Southern Europe, with local stars, artists from the diaspora, and unique creations
featuring artists from both ends of the continent. Balkan Trafik mixes styles and genres, from
traditional folk music to electro, alongside today's best brass bands and the leading lights of the jazz
and rock scenes.
For its birthday edition Balkan Trafik has lined up a series of big names: the great Goran Bregov ić
will be back with his lavish musical project Margot, Memoirs of an Unhappy Queen; but also film
director Danis Tanov ić and the celebrated Boban I Marko Markov ić brass band will be there, as will
the internationally renowned Turkish rockband, Duman. Last but not least, to celebrate Balkan Trafik's
fifth birthday in style, this year also sees the launch of the Balkan Boat, which will open the festiv al
w ith a festive cruise on the Brussels canal.
Opening evening: Balkan Boat and preview w ith Danis Tanović
On Thursday 14 April the festival gets off to a flying start. For the first time, Balkan Trafik sends a
Balkan Boat out on the Brussels canal with one of the very best of today's brass bands, the Orkestar
Braka Kadrievi. Tickets for this prestigious opening event can now be booked on
www.balkantrafik.com. In the evening film-lovers can enjoy the prev iew of Cirkus Columbia, the
fourth film by the Bosnian film-maker Danis Tanović, in the presence of the director. Tanović 's first
film, No Man's Land, won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2001. Cirkus Columbia, a
political comedy, is set in the lead-up to the Balkan Wars in the early 1990s, a period the director
himself lived through. The film also looks at the present state of affairs in that corner of Europe.
Bregović, Dum an, and carte blanche for Tcha Lim berger
Friday 15 April, the first multidisciplinary day of the festival, opens with the Goran Bregović project
Margot, Memoirs of an Unhappy Queen, which was premiered in France last year at the Festival de
Musique de St. Denis. Margot has been described as a "recitando accompagnato", a monologue with
orchestral accompaniment. Bregović is joined onstage by his famous Weddings and Funerals
Orchestra, a six-strong male choir, and a string quartet. The French opera actress Alyzée Soudet
presents the intriguing memoires of Queen Margot, which are transposed to a contemporary context,
that of the war in Bosnia. A lavish project in which Bregović shows himself to be a fully-fledged
composer.
On Friday Balkan Trafik offers music, in a variety of genres. The Belgian-Hungarian violin virtuoso
Tcha Limberger, perhaps the revelation of Balkan Trafik 2010, has been given carte blanche. He
presents a sample of the best of Belgian Roma music. Under the heading Kabaret Manouche, he
presents 2 formulas: on Friday he plays alongside – amongst others – his father Vivi Limberger, on
Saturday with the new manouche jazz group Les Violons de Bruxelles. The Turkish roc k group
Duman – nicknamed “the Turkish Nirvana” – is extremely popular in its homeland (it has 500,000 fans
on Facebook) and has played at major venues worldwide. This will be the group's first performance in
Belgium! The quartet led by the Hungarian cimbalom virtuoso Kálmán Balogh, like the Bulgarian
accordion master Peter Ralchev, draws on a variety of Balkan folk and modern influences.
2
In between the "big" concerts, there will be things happening in every corner of the Centre for Fine
Arts, from short films to brass bands and from the Greek Rembetiko Kafe (with Nolas Antonis & Gyras
Nikolaos) to the Balkan Bazaar and a miniature puppet theatre. A real fortune-teller of the Hungarian
Roma community will tell the future on Friday and Saturday. The party will last until the wee small
hours with the French DJ duo Raki Balkan Sound System, with a 100% manélé & tiganeasca
night.
Boban I Marko Marković, accordions, brass bands, jazz – and theatre
The Balkan Trafik birthday party continues on Saturday with Boban I Marko Markov ić. Marković
father and Marković son have been playing together for almost ten years now in this celebrated,
ceaselessly innovative Serbian brass band. Another band, specially created for the occasion, the
Balkan Accordions Project, brings together the best accordion players from the Balkans and from
the diaspora, such as Boban Bjelić , Peter Ralchev and Ionică Minune. Another of Saturday's highlights
will be the brass band battle between the official (Ekrem Mamutovic Orkestar) and the unofficial
winner (Orkestar Braka Kadrievi) of the prestigious Guča festival in Serbia. On Friday the two bands
will play separately; on Saturday there will be a musical confrontation that is sure to generate plenty of
fireworks and decibels. Those who like things a little quieter can enjoy, among others, the jazzy diva
Amira, the acclaimed young singer who has given new momentum to sevdah (a kind of Bosnian fado)
or take in the previews of three documentaries. The members of the Bulgarian Fusion Embassy will
play live sets until six in the morning.
Earlier, at lunchtime, there will be theatre: Journal d'une Femme du Kosovo, inspired by a diary kept
by an Albanian human rights activist during the war in Kosovo. Journal d'une Femme du Kosovo is the
first female testimony from the Kosovo war to be seen in a Belgian theatre. This powerful, moving
story will be presented by an actress and a musician from the Albanian diaspora in Brussels. The
performance will be followed by a workshop in the presence of amongst other writer Sevdije Ahmeti,
on the theme of women in war situations.
Balkan Feature Film Day on Sunday
As it did last year, Balkan Trafik closes with a day of films. On Sunday 17 April the Balkan Feature
Film Day presents three fiction films: 1 avant-première and 2 special screenings.

Festival concept
Balkan Trafik stands for an exchange of culture and experience, where the doors are opened to
integration, communication, sharing experiences, and opening up to others. The festival wants to
dispel prejudice against the Balkan countries by showing the cultural richness and diversity of the
region. In an atmosphere of unity and companionship the real Balkans are truthfully presented to the
audience.
The Turkish w ord balkan means 'wooded mountain'. Although all wooded mountains could therefore
be called balkan, 'the Balkans' refers to the impressive mountain range that extends east-west acro ss
Bulgaria, joining the Carpathian Mountains to the North of the Danube. It is also the name given to the
region made up of the various European states that emerged out of the disintegration of the Ottoman
Empire.
The Balkan region became characterised by a huge diversity of expression linked to its very
div erse ethnic backgrounds. This also created music that was a mixture of local sounds: Turkish
rhythms, brass sounds, traditional Albanian dances, rebetiko, Bosnian sevdah, Roma gypsy songs,
and fast accordion melodies. The Eastern inspiration in Balkan music is easily recognised and
explained when you know that many Roma gypsies scattered themselves throughout the w hole
of the Balkans. And wherever they go, they adopt words and other cultural characteristics from the
local inhabitants, adding them to their own language and their own culture. Hence the influence of
each country they visited can be heard in the rhythms and tones of their music. At the heart of
everything, however, in the centre of this complex mosaic, it is the Ottoman tradition that shines
through.
In order to succeed with an artistic programme such as that of Balkan Trafik, BOZAR and 1001
Valises are developing a growing network in the Balkan countries and the Diaspora in this country. A
close link between the history and the current artistic reality of the region is thus guaranteed. In the
Centre for Fine Arts all art forms are given a place: music, film, theatre, dance, workshops,
exhibitions, and animation.
For its fifth birthday, Balkan Trafik once again presents the best of the Balkans and the Diaspora in
the Centre for Fine Arts. New additions this year include rock music (Duman and Zdob şi Zdub),
Kabaret Manouche – a carte blanche performance from the Belgian-Hungarian violin virtuoso Tcha
Limberger, a genuine brass band battle, and an electro Saturday night. The magnificent musical
project Margot, Memoirs of an Unhappy Queen from Goran Bregović shows the versatility and above
all the musical genius of this celebrated artist. Like the play Journal d’un Femme du Kosovo, Margot
broaches the difficult subject of war. The icing on the cake is the Balkan Accordion Proj ect, uniquely
created for the festival, with Boban Bjelić , Peter Ralchev, and Ionică Minune.

In presence of the director
Cirkus Columbia is the fourth film by the Bosnian director Danis
Tanović . His first film No Man’s Land won the Academy Award
for Best Foreign Language Film in 2001. It is a political comedy
about the onset of the Balkan conflicts of the 1990s, as
experienced by the director himself. A comedy that also has
something to say about life in that part of Europe today.

A small town in the south of Bosnia-Herzegovina, on the eve of the war. After years and years of the
communist regime, a new democratic government is elected; those who opposed communism are
suddenly pardoned. Time for Divko Buntic to return home and seek vengeance after years of exile. He
comes back with a new wife, forty years younger than himself, a new Mercedes, a black cat, and lots
of money. His first act of revenge is to throw his ex-wife and his son out of his house. Everything, it
seems to Divko, is working out for him and his money can guarantee him happiness. But the wheel of
fortune turns and one night his cat disappears; his son and his young wife, Azra, fall in love with each
other; and the war approaches his town. Everything starts to go wrong for Divko; he gets on top of
things once more by winning back the only thing he ever really wanted - the real reason for his return:
his ex-wife.

FRIDAY 15 APRIL
MUSIC
19:00 Söndörgő (Hungary – Hall M)
In their search for the most authentic jewels of southern Slavic folk
music, this musical quintet from Hungary unearthed a treasure trove of
chromatic melodies. This was found not only in the songs but also in the
use of the Slavic tambura, which they play in a variety of ways on their
new CD, Lost Music of The Balkans. This instrument of Iranian and
Turkish origin takes the audience to a bittersweet and gripping Balkan
universe with its unusual sound. Welcome to the world of Söndörgö…

19:00 & 20:45 & 22:15 & 24:30 Kabaret Manouche: The Limberger Family
The Belgian-Hungarian violin virtuoso Tcha Limberger, the
revelation of Balkan Trafik 2010, plays a series of concerts
through Friday and Saturday with a variety of personnel. Under
the banner of Kabaret Manouche, he provides a sampler of the
best Belgian Roma music.
Friday 15: The Limberger Family with Vivi Limberger (guitar and
vocals), Tcha Limberger (violin, guitar, and vocals), and Vilmos
Csiko s (double bass).
Photo: Tc ha Limberger
Tcha Limberger, a musician of Belgian origin, was born into a family of brilliant musicians. His father,
Vivi Limberger, is a guitarist, and his grand-father, Piotto Limberger, was a violinist and a major figure
in the world of Dutch manouche jazz. Tcha took up the violin at the age of 17, before immersing
himself for 18 months in Budapest to perfect his playing with the violin master Horvat Bela. Also a
guitarist and a singer, he plays in a number of astonishing groups with very different styles.
20:00 Goran Bregov ić – Margot, Memoirs of an Unhappy Queen (Serbia – Henry Le Bœuf Hall)
Goran Bregović , often associated with the renaissance of Balkan music and
even today the most famous Balkan composer, is our guest with an unusual
project. Margot: Memoirs of an Unhappy Queen is referred to as a ‘recitando
accompagnato’, a monologue accompanied by an orchestra. Bregović
shared the stage with his renowned Weddings and Funerals Orchestra, a
six-piece male voice choir and a string quartet. The young French opera
actress Alyzée Soudet presents the intriguing memoirs of Reine Margot,
translated into a contemporary context: the war in Bosnia during the first half
of the ‘90s. The project, grand in scale, shows Bregović to be a skilled
composer.

Bregović has long been acquainted with the character of the French Queen Marguerite: in 1994, he
composed the soundtrack to the film La Reine Margot by Patrice Chéreau. As the daughter of a king,
the sister of three kings and the wife of a king (Henry IV), Reine Margot (1553 –1615) was an
extremely regal person, though she never reigned. Why and how do we remember her? Goran
Bregović studied the life of this ‘unhappy Queen’ and sought a contemporary angle. He translates the
action into a living room in the Serbian quarter of Sarajevo, at the time of the war in 1991-1995.
Composition & text / guitar, synthesiser, vocals: Goran Bregović
Actress: Alyzée Soudet
The Weddings and Funerals Orchestra is composed of: a Gypsy brass band (Alen Ademović,
Bokan Stanković , Dalibor Lukić , Stojan Dimov, Aleksandar Rajković , Milos Mihaljlović ), Bulgarian
voices (Ludmila Radkova-Trajkova, Daniela Radkova-Aleksandrova), sextet of male voices (Dejan
Pesic, Nenad Cica, Igor Arizanovic, Vladimir Rumenic, Dusan Ljubinkovic, Sinisa Dutina) & a string
quartet (Ivana Matejic, Bojana Jovanovic, Sasa Mirkovic, Tatjana Jovanovic)

21:00 Ankara Folk Dance Musicians Association & Ankira Culture and Youth Club
(Turkey – Hall M)
The Ankira Culture Art and Youth Club and the Ankara Folk Dance and Music Association were both
founded to maintain the traditions of Turkish dance and musical folklore. A must for anyone wishing to
get to know a broad sample of authentic folk dances from Turkey in a short space of time.
22:15 Kálmán Balogh & Peter Ralchev
Kálmán Balogh is a virtuoso on the cimbalom, a cross between a
zither and a vibraphone. As the offspring of Hungarian gypsy
stock with deep roots in history, he knows the tradition of the
Roma like the back of his hand. He has done several world tours
and has plays with masters such as Django Reinhardt and violin
player Stephane Grapelli. Now he joins forces with the Bulgarian
accordion player Peter Ralchev, who himself is a masterful
musician equally at home in Eastern European folk, French
musette and classical music. Accompanied by guitar and bass,
their music is a fast Balkan blend of nimble-fingered passages and
oriental moods with jazzy accents. A musical whirlwind!

23:00 Duman (Turkey – Horta Hall)
Duman have been called "the Turkish Nirvana". Their robust rock does
indeed have something in common with Seattle grunge (singer-songwriter
Kaan Tangöze lived in Seattle for a while), but it also draws on influences
from Turkish and Eastern folk music. The group is hugely popular in
Turkey and has a growing number of fans worldwide. Their Brussels
concert is a must not only for the young Turkish Diaspora, but also for
anyone who loves solid, heartfelt rock.

traditional instruments, they invite the viewer to venture onto the dance
floor.

19:00 Amira (Bosnia – Hall M)
This young singer from Sarajevo with a fragile voice is often referred to as the
Bosnian Billie Holiday. The best comparison for the sevdah or sevdalinka is the
Portuguese fado. In the Bosnian language sevdah means ‘love’ or ‘caress’.
This predominantly female genre, often passed down from mother to daughter,
means songs full of romantic sorrow and languorous desire. As a child, Amira
was fascinated by these songs and developed a unique voice with which she
delivers careworn interpretations of traditional gems from Bosnia and
Herzegovina.

manouche standards to their own personal compositions, via a few sunny Brazilian choros, these
musicians will take you on a journey to rich and surprising musical worlds, where the combination of
violins sometimes gives the impression of a veritable string orchestra. Their music's quest for grace
and beauty promises to bring great happiness.

magic of Balkan accordion playing. The project brings together the
greatest virtuosos from a variety of styles, from the classical playing of
the Serbian Boban Bjelić , to the extreme Bulgarian ornamentation of
Peter Ralchev, via the legendary Ionică Minune, the Romanian who

The Moldavian band Zdob şi Zdub (pronounced: Zdob shi Zdub)
plays a totally unique blend of hard rock and folklore from their
homeland. Add hip hop, drum 'n' bass, jungle and punk to the mix
and you have an idea of the musical cocktail these ethno-rockers
serve up. With their solid live reputation they have opened for
bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, Rollins Band, Rage
Against The Machine and Fun Lovin' Criminals. And on top of that,
Zdob şi Zdub will represent Moldavia at the Eurovision Song

Photo: Elina D uni (c) Francesc a Pfeffer
With only two albums to her name, Elina Duni is a grand
dame of the stage. This Albanian beauty was on the scene
from the age of five. When the troubles in the Balkans began
she moved to Geneva at an early age. There, Elina sang at
the conservatorium and formed her own quartet. Along with
Colin Valon on piano, Patrice Moret on bass and Norbert
Pfammater on drums, she performs her unique jazzy

23:15 Boban I Marko Markov ić (Serbia – Horta Hall)
The band of the Serbian trumpeter Boban Marković , renowned from the
films of Emir Kusturica (Arizona Dream, Underground), has been among
the best brass bands of Central Europe for around ten years. It consists
of 12 musicians and plays an explosive mix of jazz and Balkan. In gypsy
music, life is short while the nights are long and packed with stories. The
story of the Boban I Marko Marković Orkestar is one of a father
gradually passing the torch (and trumpet) to his son. He was basically
born with his trumpet and has been writing the scores for the orchestra
since he was sixteen.

00:30 Brassband Battle: Orkestar Ekrem Mamutov ić vs. Orkestar Braka Kadriev i (Macedonia/
Belgium/Serbia - Hortahal)
A commotion arose in 2010 at the prestigious Guč a
Trumpet festival, the unofficial world championship for
brass bands. The Macedonian Orkestar Braka Kadrievi
was the best in the eyes of many, but could not win as they
were not Serbian. The Orkestar E krem Mamutović
eventually took the honours. The two orchestras now face
each other in an unprecedented brass band battle.

16:00 > 17:30 Special Screening - The Belgrado Phantom by Jovan Todorovic (Hungary, Serbia,
Bulgaria, 2009, 80’)
In the late summer of 1979, while Yugoslavia was still a single
state under Tito's control, a mysterious young man started stealing
cars and using them for joyrides around nocturnal Belgrade.
Authorities noted his predilection for white Porsches in particular.
By openly defying the police and outfoxing them in wild car chases,
he quickly grew into a popular hero. The Belgrade Phantom
reconstructs the events using archive footage, interviews, and
dramatized sequences, and only during the final credits do we hear
Photo: Belgrado Phantom
the voice of the actual Belgrade Phantom on old cassette
recordings. The new footage boasts an actor with a cool hairdo who envelops himself in dark silence.
The soundtrack makes the 1970s atmosphere complete, and the mystery of the Belgrade Phantom
remains intact in this film. He is described as a rebel without a cause, a Yugoslavian James Dean. In
hindsight, his provocative behavior towards the authorities can be read as an omen of the crumbling
dictatorial regime. Ultimately, the Phantom was apprehended in a spectacular fashion and given a
relatively short prison sentence. Shortly after his release, he was killed in unexplained circumstances
while driving a stolen Lada.

19:30 > 20:30 Special Screening - The World According to Ion B. by Alexander Nanau (Romania,
2009, 60’)
You wouldn't immediately think that 60 year-old Romanian drifter
Ion Barladeanu was an exceptional exponent of pop art. And yet
the drunkard has suitcases full of impressive collages that he's
been making since the seventies. When gallery owner Dan
Popescu gets a tip about this artistic treasure, he takes the
tramp under his wing. In the run-up to the exhibition he is
followed by documentary film-maker Alexander Nanau. After a
successful exhibition opening and international recognition, they
Photo: T he World Accordi ng to Ion B
visit the village where they artist was born, and from which he
fled as a young man. The film is not only a moving portrait of a remarkable talent, but it also shows u s
how Romania still struggles with the burden of its communist past.

22:15 > 23:45 Special screening - Village without Women by Srdjan Sarenac (Croatia/France,
2010, 83’)
In Southwest Serbia, atop a mountain and four kilometers
from the nearest road, the Jankovic brothers hold down the
fort in the womanless village of Zabrdje. Dragan, Zoran, and
Rodoljub, along with their neighbor, Velimir, represent the
entire population of what was once a vibrant rural
community. They live in tough conditions. No running water,
no roads, not even a hint of a woman’s touch. Not to
mention, the three brothers still share the same bedroom.
Zoran, the eldest brother, dreams of marrying a woman
capable of handling life in Zabrdje. Despite his efforts, he
Photo: Village without Women
fails to convince a Serbian woman to join them in the village.
The solution might just be on the other side of the mountains, in Albania, where the situation is the
other way around: lots of women, not very many men, but the memories of the war in Kosovo against
ethnic Albanians are still fresh.

THEATRE
14:00 Journal d'une femme du Kosovo (Hall M)
The play Le Journal d’une Femme du Kosovo is a
collective project that was started by the director, Zenel
Laci, and motivated by the need to fulfil a duty of
remembrance towards Kosovan Albanians, because we
must not give in to the temptation to forget. Theatre must
tackle important questions. The representation of
barbarous acts or crimes against humanity may also have a
cathartic value.
Photo: J ournal d'une femme du Kosovo
The performance evokes the atrocities committed against women during this time of violence and
blood with exemplary dignity. It is, however, above all a story of love and freedom which speaks to the
audience through actress Anila Dervishi, who is supported by the musician, Afrim Jahja and by
Nimetulla Parlaku's heart-breaking images. This piece mixes sounds of rock guitar, voice recordings,
universal declarations, dream-like projections, and love songs which set the theatre alight and bring
the actors and the audience together. It is a courageous and healing piece that refuses to accept the
atrocities committed against minorities and vulnerable people, beginning with women and children.
The play will be followed by a debate with Sevdije Ahmeti (author of the Journal and Kosovan human
rights activist), Jean-Yves Potel* (French author and academic specialising in Central and Eastern
Europe), Safet Kryemadhi (political scientist), and the production team including Zenel Laci (director)
and Anila Dervishi (actress).
*Jean-Yves Potel, author of the notes and introduction to the book Journal d’une femme du Kosovo by
Sevdije Ahmeti. Published by KARTHALA, 2001 – Preface by Bernard Kouchner, translated from the
English by Chantal Deltenre-De Bruycker and Daniel de Bruycker.

they are at home. Radostin’s mother puts herself out to

by a striking soundtrack.

20:00 Special Screening - Francesca by Bobby Păunescu (Romania, 2009, 96’)
In the presence of director Bobby Păunescu and main actress Monica Barladeanu

Bucharest who is eager to work in Italy but she's heard
too many horror stories about the treatment of
immigrants. She wants her boyfriend to join her but then
things take an unfortunate turn. A vital piece of modern
neorealism from a Romanian director who grew up in

and musicians from the Centre Hellénique d'Études du Folklore will take on this task.

Expo Django
As the child of gypsies, born in Belgium, Django Reinhardt embodied the nomadic existence of the
Manouche, Roma, and gypsies in general. His musical talent and typical manouche jazz inspired
musicians including Toots Thielemans, René Thomas, Philip Catherine, Fapy Laferton, Koen De
Cauter and many others.
This Django exhibition shows both his musical career and the nomadic life of peoples from Central,
Eastern and Southern Europe: their ways of life, culture, faith and the social-economic difficulties they
are faced with in our sedentary society. Paintings by Lucien Maringer (1903-1981) and photos from
the collection of Christian Berthold, Nicolas Clément and Georges Vercheval, give a tender and
touching picture of the life of the travellers. A short film about the life of Django Reinhardt illustrates
once more how his music was influenced by the various cultures he came into contact with through the
gypsy life.
Balkan Bazaar
Hamams, mosques, caravanserais, and rows of market stalls: the old bazaars remain the living heart
of many towns in the Balkans. In Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina), Skopje and Bitola (Macedonia), as
well as in Komotini (Greece), they have survived the test of time, wars and the waves of
“modernisaton” that have so often destroyed old city centres. The Balkan Bazaar, a meeting place at
the very heart of the festival, evokes all the bustle and atmosphere of these districts. The decor, the
market stalls with their many prizes to be won, the varied musical and theatrical events, as well as the
fortune teller and host of colourful characters will all be paying homage to the Balkan carsija !
