Freshly returning from an artistic residency in Epirus, a region with a uniquely rich polyphonic tradition, the women of Perperúna bring new songs and stories to life. They experiment with polyphonic encounters and explore the voice as a musical instrument and expressive storyteller. Immerse yourself in a world of sonic diversity from the Balkans and the Mediterranean diaspora.
PERPERÚNA | Contemporary Folk Vocals from Berlin
Since 2020, the members of Perperúna, driven together by their common passion for Greek, Balkan and Sephardi oral traditions, focus on the study, reinterpretation, and communication of the female polyphonic sound, often with the use of performative elements. They explore the symbols, languages and dialects, myths and tales, melody and structure of songs that have been accompanying generations of people in the celebration of life and expression of love, in the working-field, in migration, in the time of war, in the mourning of death, in the praising of nature.
