Represent Competition: ‘Balkanology – The Resurrection’
We love the intro to the Balkanology bash (on the 9th of April in Cape Town – sorreee Jozi): ” It’s the biggest Balkan party in South Africa. It’s the only Balkan party in South Africa.” If that’s not convincing enough (they even have reductions for pensioners) then maybe the thought of grooving to Dj’s and musicians playing Gypsy, Serbian, Macedonian, Bulgarian and Romanian melodies whilst not setting a foot out of the fairest Cape may do? Either way, we’ve hustled a pair of DOUBLE TICKETS (worth nearly 500 ROND) for a lucky someborry, but you’re gonna have to work for it! Here’s how:
1. Visit the Balkanology site and have a browse
2. Email us the name of ONE of the musicians in the Kolo Novo Movie Band
3. In your email – which must be sent to editor@represent.co.za, please include your name, age, ID number and your contact details (phone and email). Pensioners welcome.
4. Do this before the 2nd of April. We will announce the winner on the 3rd. AND NO discussions will be entered into, the winner will be chosen through a draw. One entry per wannabe winner please, don’t jam up our inbox.
Here’s more info – GOOD LUCK!

The most talked about cult event of the season is just around the corner.
Balkanology is back on Thursday, 9 April 2009 at Bloemendal.
The Balkanology parties in South Africa were first launched in June 2006 by Event Director Ma’or Harris and a distinctive, highly talented group of collaborators.
After five hit parties with numbers growing from 500 to 3 000, Balkanology has created a powerful brand synonymous with zest, energy and a theatrical music experience.
Balkanology is styled in the way of traditional Eastern European gypsy camps. The party is an opportunity to lose your inhibitions for a night, enjoy the madness of DJ’s and musicians performing a remixed fusion of Gypsy, Serbian, Macedonian, Bulgarian and Romanian melodies. As well as theatre performances and market.
Lineup:
· Kolo Novo Movie Band – founded by musical director, Grada Djeri specifically for Balkanology and featuring some of the biggest names in SA music
· Top Balkan DJ, Robert Soko (of BalkanBeats) – the Croatian from Germany
· DJ Toby2shoes – the ambassador for Balkan-gypsy-folk in SA
