The singers of the award-winning Victoria-based Balkan Babes are dedicated to both the intricate music of the Balkan region and to the challenging and highly rewarding process of operating as a collective with no director.Drawn to the penetrating harmonies, asymmetric rhythms, unusual ornamentations, and powerful emotions that characterize the rich and timeless folk music of Eastern Europe, Balkan Babes strive for an authentic sound in vocal production and pronunciation while opening up many songs through their own interpretations and arrangements. Singing together for 25 years, Balkan Babes have released three full length records since 1999, all to warm reviews!
Novo Drom, also from Victoria, features both instruments and vocals, bringing new life into Balkan and Romani classics with their four-part harmonies and driving melodies.
Both bands are proud to be active members of Vancouver Island's music, arts, and culture communities and are greatly looking forward to presenting selections from these captivating musical traditions to our VFMS audience.
