Balkan Taksim & EEMC invite you on May 23rd, starting at 7 PM, to Cărturești Carusel (55 Lipscani Street, Bucharest) for the public listening session of Acide balkanique (Buda Musique, Paris, 2025), now presented in its collector’s vinyl edition.
“This Balkan Acid distils the most heady of sound liqueurs, in which BALKAN TAKSIM unveils a cultural cartography that blurs the lines without betraying its origins.”
— Rythmes Croisés
Filtered through an electro-industrial-urban prism, the folk cultures of the Balkans, the Carpathians, and the former Ottoman world merge into a hypnotic and unpredictable sonic puzzle — a musical geography that preserves its roots while refusing borders.
Mixed in Bucharest and mastered in Paris by Marie Pieprzownik (Etienne De Crécy, Air, Selah Sue), the LP — pressed on recycled vinyl — delivers a listening experience designed both for casual listeners and dedicated audiophiles.
Following the full album listening session, we invite you to an informal conversation with Balkan Taksim members Sașa-Liviu Stoianovici and Alin Zăbrăuțeanu.
