Kočani Orkestar comes from the city of Kočani (Кочани), in The Republic of Macedonia (view more: Balkan Folk Music). Performed by two trumpets, three tubas, saxophone, clarinet, zurla (traditional oboe), accordion and percussion, their style of music is aptly described in their region as Romska Orientalna Musika - ‘Rom’ meaning ‘gypsy’. It is a potent mixture of powerful brass band sounds, Turkish/Bulgarian rhythms (including characteristic asymetrical time signatures such as 7/8, 9/8 etc., which are sometimes called ‘Aksak’ in traditional Turkish music), and Eastern-style solos which are at the same time very skillful, inspired and wild.
