"Las Balkanieras Know "What's Cooking""

OK this is awesome. Germany's Las Balkanieras are just the kind of act I love, because they are pan-European. The trio lives in Düsseldorf, but are from various countries all over Europe. Last year, they dropped this fun clip called "What's Cooking" but they have a more recent video that is a sort of dubstep track, which samples a song from Esme? Redžepove, a Macedonian singer. Anyway, this promo below is better/the most fun and it's a take on Kelis' "Milkshake," except it's about a Bosnian dish called "Burek." Check out the video below (in English, Russian and Yugoslavian, I think). It's like M.I.A meets Martha Stewart, or something. - europopped.com

Bio

LAS BALKANIERAS are 3 beautiful women (Balkaniera Mediteranovich, Dona Bosanchera and Miss Russia) that can write hits, sing, dance, cook, wash and clean...
They are originating from Croatia, Bosnia and Russia but currently residing in Dusseldorf/Germany... They sing in four languages - German, Russian, English, Yugoslavian.

To create a unique sound for their outlet they teamed up withPionear Jamaican-German producer.

They call their music Balkan-Power-Pop and their motto is: FOOD LOVE MUSIC!

FOOD LOVE MUSIC is also the name of their debut album (Germaica label).

But don't be mistaken by the word "Balkan", their music is mashup of all kind of modern dance music sounds - Balkan, tropical bass, dubstep, reggae.

This year Las Balkanieras performed even at Womad festival (UK).

Las Balkanieras is a vocal trio whose mash-up of seemingly incongruous styles would, before a note's been played, suggest music not just made by committee, but by the theory of chaos. But this combination of (occasionally brash) Balkan vocal harmonies, dancehall bass, the guttural throb of dubstep and an overwhelming, brightly coloured pop exuberance enjoys an inexplicable appeal. It's not music that's ever going to satisfy the furrow-browed musicologists, but Las Balkanieras won't mind. They're too busy having a fine old time, most notably on their Balkanisation of Kelis' Milkshake where a traditional Bosnian dish replaces the original's dairy-based beverage - "My burek brings all the boys to the yard". It ain't heavy - but your feet won't care a jot. WOMAD festival
