Balkalar is an ethno ensemble coming from Zagreb directly to Šibenik for SHIP, bringing with them double bass, violins, guitars, percussion, and Balkan melodies ‘dressed’ in energetic arrangements. A passion united high school friends Pavle, Irma, and Marko for traditional melodies, and percussionist Ivan Judaš solidified their instrumental lineup. After performing street music, they transitioned to the digital world and quickly crossed borders. They have performed on numerous European stages and at prestigious festivals such as Balkan Trafik, Floating Castle, Goulash Disko, Seasplash Festival, and Balkan: MOST. Next up: SHIP 2024.
