The internationally renowned Shantel will be the special guest of the Patreon Carnival on Friday, March 15 at 9:30 p.m. in Georgiou A’ square inviting us all to actively participate in the ultimate Carnival Party “The Disco Partizani Years!”, organized by the Municipality of Patreon and KEDIP -Carnival of Patras.
Together with Shantel and Bucovina Club Soundsystem, Koza Mostra and dj Spery join forces in Patras to transform George I Square into a unique Dionysian party, which will look like something out of an Emir Kustouritsa movie.
On the fantastic night of Patras, when we will enter the carnival fever of the last three days of the climax of the great celebration of Patras and all of Greece, at 21.30, shortly following the first appearance of this year’s floats of the Patrinos Carnival in the streets of the city, it is the time of Shantel who gives us an appointment to take us on a journey through the music of the Balkans.
Shantel, a leading figure of the Balkan dancefloor, an award-winning “world music” artist, started as a DJ in German Clubs, and quickly realized that “there was a current” for pure Balkan Gypsy tunes played by brass bands. He introduced them to his rousing dj sets that bore the signature “Shantel Bucovina Club”. And so, the traditional music of the Balkans invaded the European dancefloors. A representative example is the success of “Disco Partizani”. “Bucovina Club” gave way to “Bucovina Club Orkestar” and recently, to “Bucovina Club Soundsystem”. German DJ, producer and fine musician and singer, he is famous for his work with Roma brass bands and mixing traditional Balkan music with electronic beats.
Koza Mostra, the most important and representative ethnic-rock band of the last decade in Greece, combines ska, punk and rock music together with the style of Balkan folk, such as rebetiko. A key feature of their concerts is the energy they bring out on stage, something that stirs up even the most “difficult” audiences, creating a party at every performance.
Dj Spery is a pioneer of Balkan music in Greece, with activity inside and outside the borders for the last 14 years. DJ and producer, he combines the traditional sound of brass with the modern beats of the Electro World scene. Creator of the Balkan Extravaganza Show since 2010, he has toured in Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Serbia, Sweden, Russia, etc. playing not only in clubs but also participating in festivals alongside artists such as Goran Bregovic, Manu Chao, Gogol Bordello, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Boban i Marko Markovic, Locomondo, Imam Baildi etc.
