Zarina Prvasevda (MK), Zűrös Banda

Released by Croatia Records, a regionally acclaimed historical label that continues to define the cultural diversity of the Balkans, the album encapsulates Zarina's artistic vision through freedom and all the impressions that inspired her through her folklore heritage, both in music and dance, as an expression of herself. As a result, he has reached the 9th position on the Balkan World Music Chart as one of the most listened to world music artists in the third quarter of 2022.

While his vocal techniques draw on Eastern European and Eastern traditions, instrumental and rhythmic diversity permeates throughout the album. This level of maturity cannot be described as merely world music - thanks to her social sensitivity, her deep connection with the nature around her, and her previous collaborations with peer musicians and filmmakers from the region, Zarina continues to be keen to collect and share her stories. She has been involved in the fight to declare Mount Shar a national park, and travels from village to village to meet Macedonian grandmothers to discover and record their songs and stories, which they share together.

Zarina's work is already defining the Macedonian heritage: she has pre-sold out the Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra for her album debut, played at OffFest, D-Fest and Budapest Ritmo, and has further plans to bring her music to a wider audience, while constantly working on new songs and stories to tell.

His newest release will be a collaboration with Natacha Rogers (Ti frlije Jano eftirije), while he has also contributed his voice to the Netflix docudrama Alexander the Great, which will premiere in 2024, and is currently preparing for his upcoming European film. Alongside her tour, she will perform in Fairies and Demons, a contemporary performance choreographed by Jovana Zajkova and Boban Ruseski, in which Zarina sings, dances and plays percussion instruments.
