With roots from the Balkans mixed with Scandinavian elements, the duo Almir Meskovic and Daniel Lazar have a distinctive character that is unparalleled. Each of them has more than 20 years’ experience within classical music, and together they combine a wide range of styles and genres - ranging from Balkan rhythms and Russian folk tunes to Mozart and gypsy music. In recent years, they have played with The Oslo Philharmonic, The Norwegian Radio Orchestra, and Sølvguttene. Both are also central to the international folk music super group Kuraybers.
Music and cultures from various corners of the world meet in the heart of the Balkans. The folk music Almir and Daniel were raised with contains influences from gypsy music, Jewish klezmer music, military and classical music and everything in between. Almir was born in Bosnia and Daniel in Serbia, but they met at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo. In Norway, they have developed their own form of expression that maximises the beauty of both accordion and fiddle, with inspiration from all eras. Their catchy music makes even the heaviest of dancing feet want to shake free.
