Tahoma and Da Homies play the Sofia bar NOMO del Arte on August 30, 2026. Behind the name Tahoma is Yasen Taha, and Da Homies is the band he plays his music live with, featuring a bassist, a drummer, a saxophonist and a DJ.

Taha has carried the idea of a live hip-hop orchestra since 2016, together with DJ and turntablist Scrooge, but the collaboration with the musicians only began in late 2019. That is a long stretch for a concept that barely existed in Bulgarian rap until then, because rap concerts there, as across the Balkans, usually mean a backing track and a microphone.

The band's latest album, "Откачени от времето", came out on October 20, 2025 and holds twelve songs. For the lyrics of his album "Пъкъл", Taha leaned on Dante's "Divine Comedy", trying to make conceptual music in the context of Bulgarian reality. That is an ambition rarely found in rap on its way to popularity.

NOMO del Arte is a small Sofia bar, not a concert hall. A six-piece hip-hop orchestra on a stage that size means the saxophone and the bass are heard as instruments, not as production. That difference is the whole point of the project.

Tickets run from ten to thirteen euros, roughly 615 to 800 denars, through bilet.bg. Doors at 20:00. For listeners who follow the Balkan rap scene past the hits, this is the view towards its ambitious end.
