Projects
Proekt Iljada 2017-2019:
Proekt Iljada is an ethno-fusion band from Skopje. Our aim is to capture the beauty of Macedonian music and enrich it with modern means of expression. We want to take our listeners on a sonic journey through the diverse musical landscape that Macedonia has to offer. We present a broad repertoire ranging from fast-paced dances to melancholic ballads, in all the fascinating rhythms that make Macedonian music so distinctive. The project aims to contribute to intercultural understanding in modern Europe. We want to show how music can bring people together and open up new artistic and social horizons.
