Serbian gypsy, but has adopted Romanian traditions through his roots in the poly ethnic village of Nikolinci, eighty kilometers north of Belgrade, where the majority is Romanian. In 1970, the one year old Lelo moved with his parents to Denmark and settled in Helsingør. Today, Lelo lives in Malmö, in the south of Sweden.
At the age of five Lelo got his first accordion from his father, who is also an accordionist and whose family is well known for its gypsy music traditions passed down through generations. Lelo was brought up with music as a natural everyday element; music was a way of life, a way of communication, irrespective of situation, place or hour. Technical qualities was never ends in themselves, simply means to attain total expression. His father was Lelo’s first accordion teacher and brought his son to Yugoslavia, when he was ten years old. Lelo stayed there for three years, studying under the Serbian accordionist Branimir Djokic and going deeply into Slavic and Romanian culture. There is no doubt, that this stay in Yugoslavia played a crucial part in Lelo Nika’s progress, both as a musician and a human being.
Another person with very big importance for Lelo Nika is his father’s teacher, Ionel Corneanu, who was very demanding and taught Lelo once and for all the meaning of discipline.
Lelo Nika plays music from the whole of the Balkans, but in his very own way, based on a particular groove that is typical of modern gypsy music. Lelo Nika has, since he six years ago started collaborating with Dalia Faitelson and Bo Stief on the jazz scene, performed and played with several jazz celebrities, among others Lelo has toured with Joe Zawinul (Weather Report). Lelo’s musical versatility and big recognition has also brought him together with TV2 and Lis Sørensen on the Danish pop scene. Lelo, who twice won the title “Accordion World Champion” and in 2003 received the readers price from the Danish world-music magazine “Djembe” as cd-release of the year, is always aiming to learn something new and constantly looking for new musical challenges.
