Concert

TERRAFOLK

Mystica (guitar, saxophone, vocals), Marko Hatlak (accordion, vocals), Goran Bojčevski (clarinet, whistle), Rok Hozjan (double bass, vocals)

After running out of money in New Zealand, Mystica and Boston Balkany began a busking show which was a blend of ethnic tunes that at least one of them knew. Later that year, they met up with violinist Bojan Cv at the Lent festival in Slovenia and put on an impressive improvised set. Terrafolk was born. After heavy touring in their native land, they headed for London and Edinburgh where they played in pubs, then clubs, then festivals. One British journalist described the Terrafolk sound as “Everything respected, nothing sacred”. The UK adventure resulted in Terrafolk winning a BBC World Music Award, even though the band was not really aware of what the “world music scene” was. Since the beginning the line up has changed a few times. The band also formed the ONE music society (Društvo za ENO glasbo) to better define the unlimited approach to their musical style. Terrafolk have evolved from playing only traditional music to now playing mostly Terrafolk-composed music. 

Entrance with Lenta or day ticket.
