A year has passed, and Kal has finally decided to pay us another visit. A very special and quite intimate two concerts are going to take place in the shelter of Zlati zob.
Who are we talking about? Urban gipsy attraction Kal is one of the hottest and inovative gipsy groups from Belgrade, Serbia. Currently no one acts as a more forthright guide through this mess of history, myths, traditions, prejudice and community pride than Kal. It is a young band, rock'n'roll in attitude, fuelled on dance beats and rooted in the Balkan blues.
Kal (black in roma language) was formed by brothers Dušan and Dragan Ristić, to confront the prejudices and clichés to often connected with Roma people. This was their way of continuing their fathers - first Roma teacher to graduate from teachers college - work. That is how new gipsy music was brought to life . a mixture of tradicional gipsy and urban music, which despite it's modern sound avoids the use of electronic keyboard. For Dragan Ristić those are electronic keyboards are the curse upon Balkan music.
For the second album, titled simply Kal, the group co-operated with one and only 'world mega tsar' Rambo Amadeus, their song or remixes are a frequent 'guests' on many gipsy&balkan compilations all over the globe (Balkanbeats, Nuit Tzigane, Gipsy Beats and Balkan Bangers, Serbia Sounds Underground...). The album itself brought the group big success. In 2007 Kal was the third on the World Music Charts Europe, formed by the 50 DJ's of all European eminent radio stations, such as BBC, Radio Nova Paris, WDR... The grop outpassed great names of world music like Gotan Project, Salif Keita and Natacha Atlas.
This time the group will also present the new material, which is going to see the light of day this fall.
