Rakija is a Norwegian band, playing music inspired by the Balkan scene. Their repertoire consists of both own compositions and traditional Balkan songs, which they give new life and their own signature.
The debut album “Ojda!” (a Balkan version of “hey!”, “woohoo!” or other happy expressions) is a journey through the band’s varied and expressive repertoire. From melancholy and fragility, to energetic blasts of instrumental solos, passionate vocals and wild rhythms.
Rakija was formed in 2007, and has established themselves as a popular and unique live performance. They have performed in great parts of Norway; at festivals like by:Larm and Oslo World Music Festival, and Balkan Express in Switzerland. In 2010, Rakija toured Serbia, getting a positive response from the audience and massive attention in Serbian media. They also performed live at RTS, the State Television Channel.

SAID ABOUT RAKIJA:
”Rakija is the name of a Serbian brandy, but it is also the name of the ensemble that this evening sang and played catchy, rhythmical Balkan folk songs, almost blowing off the roof of the church! Many people in the audience sang along, while some wiped tears from their eyes – moved by the impression the band gave with its powerful performance”.
