Baltic Balkan - Party Like The Last Time in Your Life! 
Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital, was always the meltdown of the Baltic, Jewish,  Polish, Tatar, Karaite, German and Gypsy cultures. The homeland of Jascha Hefeitz, where every traditionalist backyard was still listening to the klezmer music wind coming from the East and the South, it is also a starting point for the Baltic Balkan project. This musical and performance artist endeavor was inspired by listening to original Yugoslav punk rock, as well as countless musical festivals in Europe and movies with a true Balkan (and Baltic) spirits. Three men and a dog appeared on Baltic clubbing scene in the year 2008.  The Baltic Balkan took Lithuanian audience by storm, as everyone was longing for true fire in dance and drinking. The Baltic Balkan performances visited clubs and concert halls in major Baltic cities, as well as  festivals. The Baltic Balkan has hosted three series of incredibly successful Balkan parties – “Baltic Balkan Bang”, “Caravan” and the recent “Balkanaktis”.

The New Baltic Balkan album “Bazaar“ can be described like a 2 year long journey from North Africa to Lithuania. Crossing the Gibraltar and recording the song „Lento“with the majestic Spanish singer Sandra Carrillo, enriching the song with Spanish rhythms and passion.
Next stop a wedding in the Balkans which results in a major 2 day hangover. After that is Berlin, the club Panke, where the band collaborates with a local Lithuanian MC Liežuvis and create the song „Lietus“. Quick trip back to Lithuania to record the summer hit Bum Pam.
Not staying too long at home it is off to the land of the raising sun – Japan. Where our travelling Lithuanian gypsies meet the band „Otoji + Ray“ from the local „Balkan Beats“ movement. They collaborate together in the track “Jebel tariq“, which our Japanese friends include in their current repertoire.
Back at home, the records are crowned by the collaboration with musician/actor Mantas Zemleckas, from the Lithuanian band „Kamanių Šilelis“ on the Jew harp and mandolin.
Bazzar is an album that will take you on a journey you to distant lands and experiences.
