Bojan & Barja (SI)

Bojan and Barja, members of the acclaimed Slovenian band *Terrafolk*, blend their classical roots with a deep passion for folk music. Their unique sound draws on a wide range of styles, fromBalkan traditions to Swedish and Irish tunes, as well as their own original compositions. They particularly enjoy performing in intimate acoustic settings where they can connect closely with the audience, but they also thrive in larger amplified events, which bring a different kind of energy and excitement. One of their specialties is taking listeners on a spontaneous musical journey across Eu-rope, adapting in the moment to the wishes and mood of the audience. Their artistic diversity is reflected in many forms: original compositions, music for traditional *Balfolk* dancers, the Disco & Folk production *Violin Islands*, imaginative arrangements of Bach for violin and double bass, and a vast repertoire spanning from the Balkans to transatlantic traditions. They also enjoy collaborating with local musicians, bringing fresh energy and ideas to every perfor-mance. A hallmark of their concerts is the carefully shaped dramaturgical arc, which often leaves audi-ences feeling as if time has flown by. Their music is a journey of exploration—blending genres, crossing boundaries, and remaining deeply rooted in tradition. Whether playing for a small, attentive crowd or leading a lively jam, Bojan and Barja create soulful and unforgettable musical experiences.
