Backstage at the Bohemian Hall in Astoria, Queens, Next Big Thing host Dean Olsher meets up with Boban Markovic and the Boban Markovic Orkestar. Their wildly rhythmic brass band music has been compared to all kinds of American genres, but they come to us from Romani (Gypsy) Serbia. In the U.S. for the first time, they are best known for their music in Emir Kusturica's film "Underground." Their performance was recorded live at the "Music around the Mediterranean" concert, sponsored by the Center for Traditional Music and Dance and the World Music Institute.
