Vote for the Party. Vote BDT!

The Bucharest Drinking Team started in the winter of 2010 as a one-time pickup team of Balkan musicians from across the Northwest who convened in Seattle for a single event. Both the audience and musicians had such a good time that another round was called for. And another, and another...

Borrowing stylistically from great Balkan brass bands like Fanfare Ciocarlia and Boban Markovic, the team mixes in a liberal shot of Romanian folk music and a penchant for 80s disco from behind the Iron Curtain to bring you a high-proof Eastern Bloc Party, complete with dancing, drinking, and music!
