Vartra is a collective of musicians, dancers and craftsmen based in Belgrade, Serbia, gathered around a common goal of bringing magic and mystery to the stage through a unique blend of their skills, interests and experiences. Our music is influenced by various genres, from traditional Balkan music characterized by the merging of Slavic and oriental cultures, through a variety of traditional music styles of indigenous cultures across the world, to a more harsh, industrial and dark atmospheric sound, common for genres such as doom metal. Most of our lyrics stem from old folk incantations and mantras from the Balkan area, that are sung in Serbian and Vlach languages. Our performances are enriched by utilizing handmade drums and rattles crafted by main instrumentalist and vocalist Siniša Gavrić. These instruments are made from animal skins and foraged materials from the rivers and mountains of Serbia.
You were very quick with that heart, and I deeply appreciate it. I'll be exploring more. I am subscribed to far too many channels, so really try not to add any more. In your case, I completely failed.
Glad you love the song! In that track, the main string instrument used is the violin. Its rich and expressive sound adds a beautiful texture to the music.
dobro da se ljudi sa manje poznavanja muzike mogu zavarati i pomisliti da je ovo 'nešto', ali zapravo, iako ne loše, nikako se ne može ni dobrim nazvati....melodije ovog tipa može skoro svaki balkanski muzikant da pravi zezajući se nonšalantno na svom instrumentu, zaista se ni po čemu ne ističu, a retko i zvuče toliko dobro da bi se takva klišeiziranost opravdala....ovaj koncept daje mogućnost za više melodija, više dinamike, više promena tempa, više uključenosti instrumenata umesto (budimo iskreni) ziheraškog insistiranja na minimalizmu koji, ah, 'tvori atmosferu', pa bi zbog toga slušalac trebalo da padne na guzicu.....mogla se koristiti za sola električna gitara, kao i mnogi drugi instrumenti, ali to je isuviše kompleksno i zahtevno za osmisliti i aranžirati, lakše je raditi ovako, da, i dodati neki ples kao 'koncept' da se još malo pokriju nesporni muzički nedostaci....a to da li su vokali ponekad čisto grozno naricanje ili uklopljeni više ili manje, to je zasebna tema....
As if you could feel the breath of fire ❤ Vatra ❤ Best wishes to Belgrade ❤ I am next spring in Novi sad maybe is there any concerts around in this time! Don’t give up to make Fantastic music!!!!
