ZLATNA MOUNTAIN and SUPER K bring the spirit of the Balkans to Vancouver!

From fast-paced odd-signature dance tunes and soulful harmony rich ballads from the rich musical traditions of Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania, and beyond, this evening will take you on a sonic journey from bustling village squares to raucous taverns and moonlit mountains. 

Whether you're a seasoned folk dancer or simply ready to be swept up in the atmosphere, join us for a night of dazzling harmonies, blistering solos and irresistibly complex rhythms. 

Super K - https://www.superk.ca/home - is a four-piece instrumental group based in Vancouver, BC. Their music is rooted in guitarist, Mik Bewsky’s Balkan heritage and interpreted in contemporary styles such as surf, jazz and rock. Finishing touches by drummer Alex Reid, keyboardist Kaia Stoesz and bassist Andrew Fyvie make the intricate grooves danceable for all audiences. Always searching for new sonic shapes and colours, Super K offers a refreshing perspective on traditional sounds.

ZLATNA MOUNTAIN blends fast dance tunes, soulful ballads, and melodic vocal harmonies in a vibrant cross-cultural folk experience. Its repertoire features varied rhythms loved by international folk dancers, with songs shaped by Ottoman and Slavic traditions. Based in Vancouver, the musicians have studied with Macedonian artists locally and abroad, drawing from traditions of Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Albania.
