Building on the success of Rhythms of the Nile, this event continues Sudafest’s Sounds Like Home series — a celebration of global sounds and stories that connect us all.

Vilk Collective is the creative partnership of Roxana Vilk (Iran) and Peter Vilk (UK/Czech Republic). Their work has been featured on BBC Radio 6, BBC TV, and BBC Persian, and includes collaborations with communities across the UK through their celebrated Lullabies and Circle/دایره projects.

Described by BBC Introducing as “a virtuoso trip, utterly beautiful,” their performances combine music, storytelling, and visual art to celebrate the power of cultural diversity.

“Vilk Collective have a groove that anyone can lock into.”
— Chris Knight, Director of Kelburn Garden Party Festival
