Something is rocking in the state of Denmark. It's Tako Lako, the Danish-Serbian band whose energetic, eclectic psychedelic Balkan mix has already broken out across the borders and pumped up the public at some major European festivals, notably Roskilde, the Big Chill and Glastonbury. Reviewers of their recent EP, Kick Start, reach for comparisons with Gogol Bordello, Shantel and Balkan Beat Box but the Tako Lako activists bring their own manifesto for the Balkan pop revolution. They're a Balkan beat group with live instruments entirely at its core, melting down kolos, polkas, dub, ska, Latin, Gypsy, trashy dancehall and East European pop with a dramatic sense of rock dynamics, energised from the front by the imposing figure of singer Ognjen Curcic, rallying band and audience around the dance party flag.
