Blla Blla Blla is an Albanian-Macedonian rock band from Skopje. It was formed in 1988 by then band members Idriz Ameti, Ermal Skupi (Mehmeti), Nikola BoÄvarov and BlagojÄe Penov. Later, Ermal (who played the violin) left the band and was replaced by Krenar Ismaili (vocal and violin). Idriz Ameti is the lead singer of the band. Most of the songs are in Albanian. Their style is described “Over Sky Ballkanishe Re-form” by the band itself, though there is no general consensus in categorizing their unique rock style. Other styles or genres used are Balkan-rock and punk.
Their first album was released in May 2000 and was called Blla Blla Blla.
“At that time we possessed a minimalist – original approach to music that brought refreshment to these Balkan spaces” the band was quoted saying about their first album on their official MySpace page. Their second album, called Over Sky Ballkanishe Re-form, was released in 2005.
Their music is considered influential beyond Macedonian borders. The band is one of the participants in the Balkan Streets series of South-eastern Europe music festivals featuring popular local groups in multicultural venues. They were among the artists appearing at the first festival in Kumanovo, Macedonia, in 2009 and also featured on the 2011 Balkan Streets program.
