Australia's Greatest Gypsy Band Lolo Lovina Celebrate 10 Years

The only Australian Gypsy band to perform in the traditional Romanes language Lolo Lovina are celebrating their tenth anniversary with a slew of international performances, including Sydney's world-famous The Basement on 26 August.

Fronted by Australian born Hungarian Romani-Gypsy singer Sarah Bedak, Lolo Lovina ('Red Beer') is an intoxicating brew of Swing, Heavy Metal and Balkan Gypsy beats. With traditional Romanian tunes and covers with a quirky bent, the band have sold-out houses at the Sydney Opera House, Brisbane Festival's Spiegeltent, VIVID Sydney, Guca Festival Serbia, in New Caledonia, Macau, and across Eastern and Western Europe.

Featuring Sarah Bedak on vocals, Nenad Radic on drums, David Carr on guitar, Nathan Gatt on double bass and Stefan Nocevski on trumpet, Lolo Lovina are the voice of gypsy music in Australia with their unique musical fusion and infectious theatrical performance style.

Lolo Lovina`s music reflects the cosmopolitan identity of Sarah Bedak, who grew up with three native tongues and cultures, and inherited her Hungarian Gypsy father's passion for music. After an Australian Council funded trip to Budapest and Serbian Gypsy villages, Sarah found her authentic voice for one of the most margenalised, oppressed and poor people in the world. With no political voice, no homeland and no army, her artistry is inspired by a totally different way of living rooted in spontaneity and spirituality.

Celebrate Lolo Lovina in their tenth year at The Basement 26 August in Sydney and Django Bar on 1 October before they dazzle New Zealand at the Nelson Arts Festival and New Zealand's own Speigeltent.
