The world music festival "Todo Mundo" runs at Belgrade's Karmakoma club on September 24 and 25, with one concert each night from 8pm. A ticket for a single night costs around 632 denars, a pass for both nights around 1,053.

The first night belongs to Fanfara Complexa and the Xabi Aburruzaga trio. Fanfara Complexa was formed in 2002 as a dance band in Budapest, and its repertoire leans on authentic Csango folk music from Moldavia and on modern serba-hora and manele melodies. They have played China, Italy, Slovenia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Turkey and Romania.

Xabi Aburruzaga is a Basque musician and composer, born in 1978 in Portugalete, and one of the best-known players of the trikitixa - the diatonic accordion that is the backbone instrument of Basque traditional music. He has played in the US, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Argentina, Palestine, France, Quebec, Greece and Britain, and worked with La Bottine Souriante, Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas, and Carlos Nunez.

The second night is carried by Branko Dzinovic and the duo Almir and Daniel. Dzinovic is the first Serbian accordionist to complete doctoral studies in performance - he took his doctorate in 2017 at the University of Toronto, after a master's in Linz. He won the World Cup in London in 2001 and has been nominated several times for the Austrian world music award with various ensembles. He has performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington and Lincoln Center in New York, and collaborated with composers including Salvatore Sciarrino, Per Norgard and Sofia Gubaidulina.

Two nights that put a Hungarian Csango brass band, a Basque trikitixa and a Serbian concert accordion on the same small club stage - which is exactly what a world music festival is supposed to do. Tickets are via tickets.rs.
