Elán

Elán recreates the irresistible coffee-house sound of Central Europe, with a distinct Balkan flavour; kafana meets lăutărească meets gipsy band. With the virtuosity and playfulness you might expect, they fill you with sweet nostalgia while grounding you in the present. The accordion takes centre stage, while violin, dulcimer, clarinet and voice act as nimble accomplices in the joyful act.
