Milena Patagônia Dijaspora Baby Clubtour
Queer Balkan Night with Milena Patagônia & Band & Džuboks Afterparty
This evening is hosted by Milena, Arbi, Adna and KruškaTV

Milena Patagônia is releasing her debut album, DIJASPORA BABY, and going on tour to promote it. Together with Dashcam*Devi (formerly Hatepop), she has created trilingual (CH-DE/BKMS/EN) music that—in dramatic (“Zmaj,” “irl”), self-deprecating (“Dijaspora Baby”), and determined (“Armageddon”) ways—opens up a unique diasporic world. Milena Patagônia switches seamlessly between languages, wears a costume made from her Baba Olga’s crochet work, raps softly, sings with crystal-clear vocals, and draws her audience right into her futuristic Balkan pop universe.

DŽUBOKS
Migration is never merely a movement from one place to another. It leaves traces that shape generations: last names, languages, journeys “downward,” memories—and a musical legacy that resonates to this day. Since the 1960s, people from the region of the former Yugoslavia have shaped Switzerland. Statistically speaking, one in seventeen people we encounter every day has family roots in this region—and yet their stories often remain invisible in the collective memory or are reduced to clichés.
With Džuboks, we’re creating a space to make these traces audible. We’re reclaiming “Yugo” and giving it our own meaning—not in the sense of a rigid identity, but as a place of remembrance, encounter, and exchange (paired with a raki(ja) or two).
Musically, the evening takes us on a journey through the world shaped by the legendary music magazine Džuboks, as well as through sounds that emerged from Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Belgrade, Skopje, Pristina, and Switzerland: from Bijelo Dugme to Azra, Leb i Sol, and Bebi Dol, all the way to younger generations like Adelina or Dubioza Kolektiv.
With that in mind: Come on by, pick your favorite song from the jukebox, or perform it yourself at our karaoke session.

This is an evening for everyone—with or without a connection to the Balkans! However, there’s no room for nationalism, racism, sexism, or anti-LGBTQ* sentiment.
