After two intense years of experimentation and musical creation, the Barcelona Gipsy Balkan Orchestra (BGKO) arrives in Rome with its most recent album “7”. The event will be held at the “Ennio Morricone” Auditorium Parco della Musica, in the Sala Petrassi, on May 19, 2024 at 9:00 pm. This concert marks an important return to the Italian scene for BGKO, which has dedicated recent years to fusing Balkan and Mediterranean musical influences with elements of blues, reggae and tango.
BGKO is not just a musical group, but a true cultural phenomenon that challenges traditional genre categorizations to explore new dimensions of sound. The orchestra is made up of seven talented musicians from different parts of the world, each carrying a unique identity that is reflected in the music they produce. Among these, the Italian voice of Margherita Abita stands out, adding a magical touch to the ensemble with her deep and seductive timbre.
“7”: a symbolic and revolutionary album
The new album “7” represents a milestone for BGKO. Not only is it their seventh studio work, but it is also the first entirely composed of original songs. The number seven, rich in meaning in many cultures, symbolizes perfection, spirituality and renewal, concepts that the band aimed to explore and embody in this new project.
The album is the result of a long artistic journey that took BGKO through over 30 countries in 12 years, during which the group absorbed and reinterpreted the different cultural influences encountered. This rich experience translates into music that is not just to be listened to, but to be experienced, characterized by an extraordinary ability to convey emotions and tell stories.
A concert not to be missed
The anticipation for the Rome concert is high, and it promises to be one of the most exciting stops on BGKO’s European tour. Viewers will have the opportunity to experience live the expressive power and artistic complexity of a group that continues to push the boundaries of world music. Tickets are available starting from 25 euros, both at the Auditorium and online via the TicketOne circuit.
