Event Description
Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering: Everyone—welcome Jam at 6:45pm, Open Stage at 7:30pm, Feature Performers Balkan Babes at 9:00pm; Norway House, 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash at the doorThe singers that make up 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 to their own interpretations and arrangements.
Singing together for over 25 years, Balkan Babes have released three full-length records - Divna (2008) Volio (2012) and Zajedno (2019) - all to warm reviews. The albums explore themes of love, life, longing, and loss, bridging cultures and times and making accessible the diverse musical traditions of the Balkans to music lovers near and far!
