Fanfara Tirana is an absolute novelty among Balkan brass bands. In comparison with traditional Slav brass bands this one is different and new thanks to the well articulate music language which is essentially based on a very enthralling melodic path with the support of other instruments. Melody is committed to the clarinet, sax-alto, trumpet and sax tenor expressing their stile of pure improvisation defined as "kaba" (typical of music from South Albania) and "gazel" (typical of music from Tirana and neighburing villages).

The Fanfara Tirana will present a repertoire with traditional music and new compositions resounding of Balkan and oriental sonority.

The brass ensemble has alredy fashinated a big public in Europe. Thay play unbridled on the stage and gain the satisfaction of the public like their fans in Tirana say "...they make dead people dance...".

They perform with the extraordinary voice of Hysni (Niko) Zela.
