SEE imagined - Part 2
Jetzt ist es soweit: 'Balkan' ist fast schon offiziell in erster Linie eine Region in unseren Köpfen, und es kommt gleich auch eine Imaginary Balkan Party nach Wien. Was soll 'Imaginary' in diesem Fall heißen? Nun, daß Balkan Musik nicht zwangsläufig aus SEE kommen muß (auch nicht ganz neu, dieses Phänomen) - im (sozusagen) Gegenteil: die bei dieser Party auftretenden Bands kommen aus Belgien und Japan.
Nähere Details folgen...

Now where are the Balkans?
One of these days, the i-tunes music store spat out a nice 'balkan' band as one of its innumerable 'best of' and 'top' lists - apart from the not-so-new occurrence of the term 'Balkan' in a positive context (confirming the Balkan-boom in music ), on their site, one can listen to parts of the tracks of the band Balkan Beat Box (BBB), and they are not too bad...fulfilling the expectations of the promise in the word 'Balkan' - a bit of everything, not necessarily only from SEE.
