Haïdouti Orkestar, a world music group from France, was founded in the early to mid-2000s by drummer Sylvain Dupuis. The ensemble initially formed as a Balkan orchestra, featuring musicians from diverse backgrounds including Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, and France. Their debut album, Balkan Heroes, was released in 2007. Subsequent albums include Tek Tek (2009) and Dogu (2012), which expanded their musical horizons. Haïdouti Orkestar gained significant exposure through collaborations, notably contributing to the soundtrack of Mohamed Hamidi's film La Vache, which premiered in 2016 and featured performances on prominent platforms such as France 5’s C à vous and the Cannes Film Festival.
