Balkumba Tribe’s journey started in the year of 2014 being founded at the initiative of ​​Lucian Nagy.
Thru this new project, Lucian Nagy is composing and exploring new music of his own, offering as well the chance to all the other members from the Tribe to express themselves and to bring new ideas thru their own compositions too.
The first internationally appearence happened in Berlin 2014 thru a concert organised by the Romanian Cultural Institute.
Balkumba Tribe’s music has a fresh and original feeling built on a multifaceted spectrum of influences. A harmonious gathering and a multicoloured combination of styles where typical Balkan
Middle East and Indo-African inflections are naturally fused together.
From the Afro-Indian sphere and other ethnic influences, Lucian Nagy, Neil Yates & Johann Berby.
Jazz and latin from, Sebastian Spanache & Gabriel Rosati.
A unique “groove” combining the Afro-Indian rhythms with Middle-East & Jazz is coming from, Csaba Pusztai & Prabhu Edouard.
In these years the Tribe has performed in countries such as: Romania, Hungary, Germany, Austria…
In 2015-2016 the Tribe performed in festivals such as: American Music Festival from Arad, Fete de la Musique Festival from Timisoara, Bucharest Jazz Festival, Porgy & Bess Jazz Club from Wien, Budapest Jazz Club… On all this period the Tribe promised to take the message of this musical movement straight to the souls and minds of the people all over the places where they will perform.
Now, Lucian Nagy & Balkumba Tribe prepare the launch of the NEW album “State of Soul”.
