King Naat Veliov & the Kocani Orkestar

The fantastic gipsy brass band from Makedonia.


Koçani, one of Macedonia's finest Roman brass bands, called duvaçki orkestar, performs a dynamic and driving ensemble sound for traditional and contemporary music in Macedonia.

"The ten-man Kocani rkestar's twin trumpets, flugelhorns and saxophones, along with tuba, accordion, parkesion and darbuka produce an effervescent, jazz-inflected repertoire of festival, wedding and funeral music from Macedonia and neighboring Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia and Turkey."
