INSPECTOR GADJE is an acoustic dance MACHINE that makes the party move!
Inspector Gadje brings a big sound to the beautiful and bumpin’ brass band music of the Balkans. The driving, tight groove of low brass and drums with soaring melodies from trumpets, saxophones, and clarinet incite joy and dance from the very first downbeat. The band’s name is a wink to the 1980’s cartoon show “Inspector Gadget,” and also to the band's “gadje” (non-Romani (non gypsy - European-whitey-pants)) identity and their efforts to breaking “Gypsy” stereotypes.

DJ ZELJKO: Kafana Balkan Mastermind
Zeljko is credited with single handedly dragging the amazing Jolly Raukus Balkan Music of his homeland out of the old folks home (here in San Francisco) and into the streets where people can be found dancing laughing and have a great time. His fantastic sensibility and vision for curating events reflect his great love of the musical traditions of Serbia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Croatia......well, and The Balkans in general (and sometimes a touch of swirling Arabic sounds). You will not hear any four on the floor Turbo Folk music when you come to Kafana Balkan - no electronic thump watered down for appeal to younger generations. You will hear good ol acoustic, raukus brass. Picture this... you will be smiling, enjoying the odd metered bliss that is Balkan music and and your feet will be stomping the floor even if you don't know where the down beat is! who cares, let the music take you away!
There will be Rakija -delectible Serbian plum brandy. Warning: :drink at your own risk:!
Gino from Spirollsf will be serving Delicious Burek (Balkan Filo Dough Pastries ) ...mmmmmmm Opa!
