Rakija is a unique Balkan band. But it..s also the name of the famous Balkan brandy, made of grapes, plums or other fruits. Both the band and the brandy will make you feel warm inside, and make even the stiffest Norwegian just bursting to dance!!
The band Rakija was formed in 2007 in Oslo, gradually becoming a musical collective with musicians from Serbia and Norway. They play traditional music from the Balkan region presented in fresh, modern arrangements, and incorporating elements from f.ex. rock and classical music. They also keep adding their own songs to the repertoire.
Rakija has become a live act well known for its energy, musicality and broad appeal. The band has already played at many different venues in Oslo and Norway, inspiring people to dance their shirts off at Balkan parties, while moving other people to tears with acoustic performances. The band continues to grow as a musical unity, attracting many different types of audience.
