Psychedelic gypsy beats
This Balkan band from Copenhagen, Tako Lako, rose to cult status in the 2010s, repeatedly entrancing audiences and impressing critics with their wild, almost magical live performances.
Now, after a break, they are returning to live appearances. The band name is Serbocroat and means 'so easy' or 'no problem.' Their Balkan roots also show in their down-to-earth, high-energy approach to the music, playing 'tako lako' - keep it light and fun.
Winning awards has taken Tako Lako's psychedelic Balkan beats out into the big wide world. Their impressive international career includes appearances at festivals such as Glastonbury Festival, SXSW, Bestival and Sziget, besides hundreds of Danish shows, at Roskilde Festival, Smukfest, Music i Lejet and many more.
However, psychedelic gypsy beats, shows in English dance clubs and tour buses on European motorways are a far cry from children's bedtimes, lunch boxes and playgroups. Tako Lako took a break in 2019. The inner gypsy flame was not quenched, nonetheless. When, in the spring of 2025, Jonny Hefty & Jøden invited Tako Lako to play at their 25th anniversary concert, Tako Lako jumped at it. After a giant hiphop / Balkan mashup show with Jonny Hefty & Jøden and DJ Static at Grimfest 2025, that old gypsy flame was rekindled, and Tako Lako are now officially back in business.
In Tønder, it's the band's new show and new music that await you. But the limitless energy is unchanged.
