Kvaka 22, September 30 — Singing Across the Balkans

On September 30 at Kvaka 22, Andriana Takić and Ulya Volkova (pleurereme) lead the audience through traditional Balkan songs — but this is much more than a concert of beautiful melodies. Each piece opens a story about origins, everyday life, women, the land, work, belonging, and identity, so the evening moves naturally between music and storytelling. Andriana sings and plays guitar, Ulya brings cello and a rich, expressive musical voice, and together they shape contemporary arrangements of songs from different parts of the region. This is not just a chance to hear a repertoire — it is an invitation to step into the world these songs came from and to experience how traditional music still speaks with clarity and warmth today.
