We are MAiKA, Balkan alternative dance-punk band from Serbia/Croatia/ Slovenia founded 2017. Our music relies on modern beats, female punk vocals, and crazy stage energy. Combining traditional Balkan music, trumpets and accordion, with new genres (electronic, alternative dance, indie pop, punk), MAiKA creates an authentic sound.

From our perspective (both musical and visual) Balkan is an unique mix of contrasts: religion and tradition combined with modern technology, natural beauty with mentality, mud with gold, ecstatic joy with tears, bloody conflicts with warm humanity and generosity. Balkan is a delicious soup of many influences, styles, and cultures, which is the main theme of MAiKA music.

With their electrifying fusion of traditional Balkan roots and glitchy dance beats, MAiKA is pushing the envelope of the so called “world music” genre.
The combined mileage of each band member over the years has turned this six-piece combo into a brass-powered high-octane stage juggernaut whose sheer energy is matched only by the unremitting frenzy of its live acts.

MAiKA’s intoxicating stage presence has gained them a cult following across the Balkans and parts of western Europe. The dazzling interplay of punk riffs and gypsy accordion, together with screaming female vocals on top of throbbing bass lines, turns their every concert into a banging dancefloor mayhem.

With its charm and wild energy, we will conquer the stage, your heart, and make you dance till your shoes fall off.
