Hella (Belgium) & Rodjenice (Serbia)

This evening will be devoted to a cappella singing.

Hella is an a cappella folk ensemble composed of singers Eline De Coninck, Kalinka Verschraegen, Lotte Pauwels and Ahanna Verschraegen, which performs traditional Dutch compositions and arrangements. In search of a homogeneous and unique harmony, Hella is inspired by Scandinavian sounds and choral music. Let yourself be enchanted by these four female voices who deliver clear, warm and colorful melodies.

The Serbian group Rodjenice, named after the trio of goddesses who decided the fate of newborns, brings together three singers who met during their studies in ethnomusicology. With this trio, they put their research into practice and breathe new life into the traditional song of the former Yugoslavia through different vocal techniques. The group's repertoire, based almost exclusively on songs from small rural towns in this region, is interpreted with great vocal authenticity. Performing with other groups and artists, the singers combine traditional music with more contemporary and experimental musical performances.
