ROBERT SOKO DJ SET
~ hasta la vista ~
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 opportunity, it felt like fulfilling 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…

Some of you might know Billy Gould, the founding father of the band Faith No More. Well, a few years ago Billy fell in love with a domestic Serbian creation known as rakija (brandy/schnapps) and decided to bring it to the US. And he did it. And he called me recently saying: dude, we have to do it in Germany too, are you interested? I said: živili Billy pa vidili!
This is a “hangover album” in the truest sense: after ten wild days in the beautiful city of Pula, Croatia—full of drinks, laughs, and chaos—I ended up taking a bad fall in the street and hit my head pretty hard. A nasty bout of vertigo that stuck around longer than I expected. Not knowing what to do I sat down, gathered myself, and this song came out of it.
It´s very encouraging to get some proper feed-back from people with 50-plus years experience in the real music business. Also sprach Christoph Borkowsky, CEO Piranha Arts & WOMEX, Berlin.
IDI VIDI - MOŽDA TI SE SVIDI.
This video elaboration has been created in frame of the MOST & Piranha Records learning video series in collaboration with WOMEX Academy. Hear out what Mr. Robert Šoko has to say about his rolle throughout more than 30 years of surviving in the "small pool full of sharks".
In this both musical and socially engaged story about building bridges with music, you will get to feel what it’s like to be a "happy immigrant" living in these right-wing days of our generations.

It`s like talking to a wall.
Nothing is real - everything is permitted.
BOŽO VREĆO
When I listened to the others, I made mistakes and gave up quickly...
ALEKSANDAR HEMON
The central fact of my life is displacement.
I prefer not to be labeled.
I started to appreciate life more.
I told my story a long time ago.
