Strong, hot, Swedish Balkan music that knows no borders –
Andra Generationen (The Second Generation) was formed by
sons of men and women who came to Sweden from Macedonia
in the 1950’s and 1960’s. The music of Macedonia forms the
base of Andra Generationen’s music, mixed with Bulgarian turbo
folk, Serbian, Greek, Turkish and Gypsy music. This is further
blended with a lot of improvisation and influences from modern
dance beats to create an irresistible show for the modern World
music listener. The lyrics are newly written in Swedish, but the
music is traditional in contemporary arrangements. This six piece
band was formed in 1988 and is one of Sweden’s foremost in the
genre today. Vocals, saxophones, clarinet, zurla, flute, drums,
tarabuka and other percussion, accordion, synthesizer, guitar
and bass pump out their party rhythms.
