Dear friends & foes, my name is Robert Šoko. I am from Bosnia and from Berlin. At some point in my early days I started playing Balkan records for me and my country mates here in Berlin, named these events “BalkanBeats” and the story went off.
I am grateful to the universe to have given me this vocation, it felt like a meaningful purpose.
And yes, it’s been a long way up & down:
performing in about 150 cities ★ in around 40 countries ★ circa 700 events in 30 (+) years ★ see you again…
