TEKLA KLEBETNICA is a folk band that, in addition to native highland music, performs mainly the music of the Carpathian Mountains, often also using Balkan melodies. It is a combination of traditional folklore with elements of Gypsy, classical and jazz music, the so-called FOLK-CROSSOVER. At concerts, we try to transport listeners to our world, we invite them to our musical journey! Folklore is of great importance to each of us, which is why we often reach for its roots, adding something new and unusual.
Our songs are arranged in an interesting way, full of colors – joy, sadness, happiness, a large dose of energy and virtuosity. We want to go beyond the standard framework, play with the music, styles and genres so that everyone can find something for themselves. The band is made up of musicians who have found a common musical language and who over the years, through love for tradition and folklore, met in exceptional circumstances. We believe that it was not a coincidence, and it was our destiny to meet and create music together.
Each of us represents a different folklore region. In music, we complement each other and create quite a unique sound by combining the sound of the violin, accordion, double bass and a unique instrument, which is the Hungarian dulcimer. We work with many talented musicians and enrich the sound of our music with instruments such as guitar and drums.
