Balkan Lab Orchestra is an ensemble dedicated to the study of music from Eastern Europe and the Middle East directed by the saxophonist and composer Federico Pascucci.
Balkan Lab Orchestra is a permanent laboratory in the city of Rome and itinerant, during the year, in city and natural places.
Faced with the dematerialization of music and its supports, Disco Ajvar was born from the idea of Giulia Anita Bari and Federico Pascucci to combine sound and agricultural production.The result is a cultural production, an edible disc, 100% organic.
Ajvar is a typical sauce from the Balkans made with grilled organic peppers and aubergines, sunflower oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, love.
The sauce was produced by the Balkan Lab Orchestra in Marta (VT) on 6 September 2021. Once opened, keep the package in the fridge and use it within 24 hours. Music, on the other hand, enjoy it calmly.
