Is there anyone you'd rather spend your Labor Day with than Orkestar Bez Ime? ... ... ... We'll take that as a YES! Join us for our sets at 10:45am, noon, and 1:15pm on the International Bazaar Stage. Let's celebrate the last day of wearing socially acceptable white shoes for the season!

OBI once again is happy to participate in Tapestry's annual Fall Dance Party. Bring your dancing shoes and enjoy an evening with three hours of Balkan Party Music!

Please join us and our friends from Ukrainian Village Band for a very special evening of celebration, dancing, and general carousing to mark our milestone band birthday. Bring every single friend. We want to see you!

We'll be playing Saturday night in the Great Hall at the Memorial Union amidst a great line-up of other like-minded dance bands from MN and WI. Come…

On the heels of celebrating our 21st birthday in December, we now celebrate the birth of our first album in ten years — the aptly named “21” — by returning to Celtic Junction on Saturday, April 6. (Fun fact: OBI’s previous album was recorded live on CJ’s stage in 2014!) Coming in at a healthy 10 tracks, the new album is chock-full of the exciting Eastern European dance music we're known for, including Romani classics like “Djelem djelem” and “Ederlezi.”…
