We are in Munich, Germany this week and it has been wonderful. I have really enjoyed the art, food, and music that is performed in parks and plazas and on the street. Tonight, after a great day at the Deutsches Museum and exploring the city I saw the group Konnexion Balkan performing in Marienplatz and bought their cd. I love this kind of stuff, they even had an accordion player. What a great memento from Munich.
In that video they are kind of silly and joking around, and perhaps you don’t get the total picture of just how good they are (but I really wanted you to experience them just the way I did). But their website http://www.konnexionbalkon.com/ gives links to hear their music on itunes, amazon and other youtube clips.
I suggest if you are in the mood for something kind of different, very German, and happy then give these guys a try. I am betting that my kids love them too.

They are so fun and talented. The backdrop in the video was amazing too, I can’t believe you were there!
I’m lying in bed drinking my Starbucks and singing along with the Marienplatz – great way to wake up on this beautiful Seattle day. Thanks Jenn!
