Domaći Trubači is Montreal’s only authentic trubači (Balkan brass band), bringing the ecstatic fury and bliss hidden in the hills of Southern Serbia and North Macedonia to the streets and venues of our city. Formed in 2019 by lead trumpeter, Eli Camilo, Domaći Trubači features the signature ear-filling, soulful, and joyous sound of the trumpet, and a rhythm section with a special kind of groove that is sure to keep everyone dancing.

The Laïko–Rebetiko group interprets Greek popular repertoire with soul and simplicity. Grounded and warm, their sound evokes the atmosphere of taverna nights, carried by bouzouki, violin, guitar, and voices.  

Lezma invites you on a journey to the heart of traditional Greek music and its multicultural roots. The program highlights the repertoires of the regions of Thrace, Epirus, and Macedonia. The ensemble also performs original compositions inspired by these traditions.

Throughout the concert, Lezma occasionally ventures beyond Greece to Turkey or Bulgaria, with which Greek music shares deep ties forged by history, migration, and cultural exchange. Asymmetrical rhythms and microtonal scales intertwine in a vibrant musical journey, carried by an unconventional instrumental ensemble: trombone, viola, and oud, accompanied by traditional percussion (darbuka and riq).

Come listen, dance, sing, and above all, celebrate this living musical heritage with us.

Sumak Brass Band is a soulful and energetic five-piece brass band with a strong Romani influence, playing a wide variety of folk music for dancing from the Southern Balkans (Albania, Bulgaria, etc.), Turkey, and Northern Greece. Featuring modal improvisation, asymmetric rhythms, and the sounds of saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba, and tapan.

The next jam will be on Sunday, May 3, 2026.
