Multiple Opportunities to See the Twin Cities’ Acclaimed Balkan Band

Orkestar Bez Ime travels widely to learn folk music from the Balkans, and works with local people. The result is a Twin Cities-based Balkan band with great singing and playing that rings true with the traditions represented. You can catch Orkestar Bez Ime at Crooners on August 31, and then Sept 3 and 4 at the Minnesota State Fair. When Phil Nusbaum sat down with Colleen Bertsch and Katrina Mundinger of the group, Colleen talked about learning Romanian music.
