Bandemonium Presents Kef

The full glory of the brass band traditions of the Balkan countries will be on display Saturday 30 March when local activist street band Bandemonium presents the Eugene, Oregon based Brass Band Kef for an evening of traditional Balkan dance to an authentic Balkan style brass band. ‘Kef’ is a Turkish word referring to the spirit and energy shared by a group of people in celebration. It’s a state of being, an intangible quality approaching ecstasy and usually involving music and a sensation Balkan brass bands are more than capable of conjuring.
