Our Story

Born on the stages, street corners and festival fields of Victoria BC in 2010, Bučan Bučan has entertained audiences from theatre halls to breakfast diners. We combine traditional Eastern European Balkan Brass songs with a high-energy dance party spin that has become a beloved, “not-to-be-missed” phenomenon. Bučan Bučan will serenade you with beautiful vocal harmonies and make you sweat with driving dancehall beats.

We find our sound from Romania, Serbia, Romani, Turkey, old Macedonia and surrounding areas. With a cadre of brass instruments, clarinet and violin, we add bass and drums to create our modern old-world sound. 

We can't wait to share our music with you!

We are:
 

Arkadi Futerman (bass)
Astrid Bosse (trombone)
Chris Logan (violin, vocals)
Emily McDermid (trumpet, vocals)
Izzy Spencer (trumpet)
Kate Mills (clarinet)
Marlene Stewart (tuba)
Pam Campbell (trombone, vocals)
Tom Salter (percussion, vocals)

Bučan Bučan One-Pager

Rambunctious, bouncy, old world style 

“Bučan Bučan doesn’t spend much time on the stage, 
instead they prefer to meander through the crowd, 
delighting the audience with their rambunctious 
rhythms, bouncy brass and old world style.” 

Mary Ellen Green - Monday Magazine 


Luminara Lights 

“The music was riveting and somewhat eerie, the 
sheer volume of the 12 or so musicians playing the 
accordion, saxophone, tuba, violin, trumpets and 
megaphone billowed out over the wet crowd adding 
to the other-worldly vibe of the night.” 

Otiena Ellwand - Monday Magazine 

“Kibori”: Track of the Day for July 14, 2010 

“The other day, someone was listening to Bučan Bučan. 
Both the band name and their promo shot caught my 
attention. Having never heard (or even heard of) them 
before, I immediately clicked and found some pretty 
great - if not difficult to categorize - music!” 

Craig Norris - CBC Radio 3, July 14, 2010 - Podcast/Blog: http://r3.ca/08iq
