The Mano Cherga Band started performing around the Bay Area about eight years ago.
The band’s repertoire consists of contemporary and traditional tunes from Ex Yugoslavia, drawing to a great extent on the body of work of the Romani Music King Saban Bajramovic, as well as Goran Bregovic, Tozovac, and a mix of Hungarian, Vallachian, Macedonian, Croatian and Greek tunes, singing in more than six languages. Its lively performances transport the audience to the kafanas of former Yugoslavia with upbeat, steamy tempos, hypnotic Balkan rhythms, catchy melodies, and fierce violin, guitar, and oud solos.

Balkan Sundays is a free weekly event that takes place at Revolution Cafe in San Francisco. Hope to see you there! For more info on Balkan Sundays, click here
