About Vartra

Vartra is a world fusion/dark folk band based in Belgrade, Serbia. Being heavily inspired by the hermetic indigenous culture of the Balkan region, Vartra fuses Nordic drumming, Slavic and oriental Melos as core elements, combined with underlying tribal sounds from around the world and with modern musical influences. Much of their lyrics stem from old folk incantations and mantras (Serbian: “bajalice”) and are sung in Serbian, Macedonian and Vlach language. The band performs on handmade drums and rattles crafted by main instrumentalist and vocalist Siniša Gavrić. These instruments are made from animal skins from around the world as well as wood and foraged materials from the rivers and mountains of Serbia.
