Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

A lot of acts right now combine live instrumentation with big electronic bass, but no one is doing it like Balkan Bump. The brainchild of trumpet player, producer and ethnomusicologist Will Magid, Balkan Bump features Balkan brass melodies, classic hip-hop and Middle Eastern sounds – creating a sound unlike anything else you're unlikely to encounter anywhere else.Magid has toured Balkan Bump as a solo artist, orchestrated and arranged for a 12-piece and comes to Victoria this time as a trio. No matter what configuration Balkan Bump finds itself in,their incredible live performances have gained quick renown, earning new fans from all genres and appearing at big time festivals like Coachella and Lightning in a Bottle. Don't miss your chance to get a personal look into the workings of the one of the most exciting acts in electronic music today as we kick off Garden City Grooves XI with this free workshop presentation.
