KAL.jpg
The music band Kal, formed in 1996 in Valjevo, creates an eclectic sound created by the symbiosis of various musical genres, such as the music of the Western Balkans, swing, jazz, blues and pop. In the combination of the Balkan style and the Romani rhythm, the original aesthetic of the Minor stands out, which Western music critics named Rock'N'Roma and Gypsy Rockabilly. The band, whose name derives from the Romani language and means black, has been through its music actively representing the culture of the Romani people, both in the country and abroad. The band has performed at international festivals such as Roskilde Festival in Denmark, Fusion Festival and Berlinale Festival in Germany, Exit Festival, Belgrade Beer Festival, Film and Music Festival Kustendorf and Jazz Festival Nišvil in Serbia, Sziget Festival in Hungary, La notte di San Lorenzo in Italy. In addition to the colossal European tours, Kal in its many years of history includes two intercontinental, American tours, in 2006 and 2008, when they performed with Richard Thompson and Leonard Cohen on the iconic stage of Joe's Pub in New York. It is the American tour that is responsible for the collaboration with one of New York's most famous musical attractions - Gogol Bordello.
