After three years of incredible concerts, inspiring musical encounters and numerous tours in 21 countries, BGKO continues to evolve, delight and flourish. We are happy to announce our newest iteration: Barcelona Gipsy balKan Orchestra.
After so much intense work and growth, we are responding to the urge to expand our artistic horizons. While we remain very interested in Klezmer music, we also want to gather inspiration from a wider spectrum of genres. Balkan music is, for us, a set of musical traditions and multiethnic cultures that surpass geographical confines, drawing on the historical traditions that have forever inhabited these lands: Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, Gypsies, Ottomans, Arabs...
And as always, the Gipsy music of Eastern Europe will always be present in the essence of our artistic energy.
En route to this horizon we welcome a new clarinetist to the band: Joaquín Sánchez Gil, from Málaga, also creative artisan of wind instruments. He is a lover and expert of Balkan and Middle Eastern traditions as well as flamenco.
No longer with us is the clarinetist, Robindro Nikolic , co-founder of the old Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra. He continues his own unique artistic path with new projects. We want to take this occasion to express our deep admiration and gratitude for the wonderful years of learning and performing with Robindro. You can follow him here: www.robindronikolic.com.
We are also enjoying the increasingly active collaboration of Oleksandr Sora, Ukrainian classical violinist and virtuoso of Eastern European music.
Regarding the Barcelona Gipsy balKan Orchestra... we are happy to be presenting a new video and two unreleased tracks very soon!
We will continue to work with renewed strength, inspiration and energy! So please stay tuned!
Always,
Barcelona Gipsy balKan Orchestra

Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine Soon found out I was losing my mind It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside Adorable illusion and I cannot hide I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside We could've made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good You teasing like you do

What I've gotta do to make you love me What I've gotta do to make you care What do I do when lightening strikes me And I wake up and find that you are not there
What do I do to make you want me What I've gotta do to be heard what do I say when it's all over And sorry seems to be the hardest word
chorus It's sad, so sad It's a sad sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd It's sad, so sad Why can't we talk it over Oh, it seems to me Sorry seems to be the hardest word
What do I do to make you love me What I've gotta do to be heard What do I do when lightening strikes me What've I gotta do What've I gotta do? When sorry seems to be the hardest word YAHOO
When a woman loves a man, she can't keep his mind on nothing else Shee'll trade the world for the good thing she's found If he is bad, she can't see it, he can do no wrong Turn his back on his best friend if she put her down
When a woman loves a man, spend his very last dime Tryin' to hold on to what she needs She'd give up all his comforts, sleep out in the rain If he said that's the way it ought to be
Well, this woman loves a man I gave you everything I had Tryin' to hold on to your high class love Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a woman loves a man, down deep in his soul He can bring her such misery If he plays her for a fool, she's the last one to know Lovin' eyes can't ever see
When a woman loves a man, she can do him no wrong She can never own some other boy Yes, when a woman loves a man I know exactly how he feels 'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're my world

Lately baby, I've been thinking How good it was when you were here And it ain't the wine that I been drinking For once I feel my head is clear
But early this morning, when I opened up my eyes That old lonesome feeling took me by surprise I guess you meant more to me than I realized The love we had stays on my mind The love we had stays on my mind
And lately girl, I've been remembering The good times that we used to share My thoughts of you don't have an ending And memories of you are everywhere
But why should I tell you, it's not your concern You win some, you lose some Well I've lost and I've learned It's just that I'm so lonely With no place to turn And here at the end, I find Yes I do
The love we had stays on my mind Girl, if you were nearer If you had a mirror Maybe you…
Twenty-five years and my life is stillTrying to get up that great big hill of hopeFor a destinationI realized quickly when I knew I shouldThat the world was made up of this brotherhood of manFor whatever that meansAnd so I cry sometimesWhen I'm lying in bed just to get it all outWhat's in my headAnd I, I am feeling a little peculiarAnd so I wake in the morningAnd I step outsideAnd I take a deep breath and I get real highAnd I scream from the top of my lungsWhat's going on?And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeahI said hey, what's going on?And I say, hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeahI said hey, what's going on?Oh, oh ohOh, oh ohAnd I try, oh my god do I tryI try all the time, in this institutionAnd I pray, oh my god do I prayI pray…
Hey you out there in the cold Getting lonely getting old Can you feel me? Hey you standing in the aisles With itchy feet and fading smiles Can you feel me? Hey you don't help them to bury the light Don't give in without a fight
Hey you out there on your own Sitting naked by the phone Would you touch me? Hey you with your ear against the wall Waiting for someone to call out Would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only fantasy The wall was too high, as you can see No matter how he tried, he could not break free And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you, out there on the road Always doing what you're told Can you help me? Hey you, out there beyond the wall Breaking bottles in the hall Can you help me? Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all Together we stand, divided we fall
I love the feeling when we lift off Watching the world so small below I love the dreaming when I think of The safety in the clouds out my window
I wonder what keeps us so high up Could there be a love beneath these wings? If we suddenly fall should I scream out Or keep very quite and cling to my mouth?
As I'm crying, so frightened of dying Relax, yes, I'm trying This fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
I love the quite of the night time When the sun is drowning in the deathly sea I can feel my heart beating as I speed from Then sense of time catching up with me
The sky set out like a pathway But who decides which route we take As people drift into a dream world I close my eyes as my hands shake
And when I see a new day Who's driving this anyway I picture my own grave 'cause fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
Floating neither up or down I wonder when I'll hit the ground Well, the earth beneath my body shake And cast your sleeping hearts awake
Could it tremble stars from moon light skies? Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes? I live on the right side, I sleep in the left That's why everything's gotta be love or death
Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me Yes, this fear's got a hold on me
