As a band invariably filed under "world music", Terrafolk had the art of non-verbal communication down pat.It's not that Slovenians Bojan, Mystica and Mark O'Tango can't speak English. That they can was clear from their hilariously unbefitting death metal version of You Are My Sunshine and the surreal inter-song commentary.
It's just that when they played, it was with such unbridled enthusiasm their performance tipped over into physical theatre.
Not satisfied with fiddling with a finesse which betrayed his former life with the Ljubljana Opera House Orchestra, Bojan revealed he could also play his viola backwards.
Mark O'Tango attacked his drum set like a man possessed, while Mystica took us on a surfing safari of the astral planes with his prog-rock guitar solos.
The team's Australian double bass player, Kate Hosking, added to the drama with her operatic freestyling.
With a set list which weaved together a Vivaldi concerto, an Irish jig, a jitterbug jive and Zorba The Greek, the world is Terrafolk's stage.
1999. After running out of money in New Zealand, Mystica and Boston Balkany began a busking show which was a blend of ethnic tunes that at least one of them knew. Later that year, they met up with violinist Bojan Cv at the Lent festival in Slovenia and put on an impressive improvised set. Terrafolk was born.
After heavy touring in their native land, they headed for London and Edinburgh where they played in pubs, then clubs, then festivals. One British journalist described the Terrafolk sound as “Everything respected, nothing sacred”. The UK adventure resulted in Terrafolk winning a BBC World Music Award, even though the band was not really aware of what the “world music scene” was. The band formed the ONE music society (Društvo za ENO glasbo) to better define the unlimited approach to their musical style.
Bostan Balkany left the band and Marko Hatlak joins. Marko, a ‘serious’ classical accordion player, also plays heavy drums. New descriptions of Terrafolk appeared: folk rebels, punk attitude. The touring expanded into Spain, Ireland, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Balkan countries. The festivals get bigger, the audiences grow.
Musically, Terrafolk have evolved from playing only traditional music to now playing mostly Terrafolk-composed music. Live performances started as duo gigs but now the band performs more concerts with their own Symbolic Orchestra and other Orchestras from across Europe, introducing more talented guests from Slovenia and beyond.
One of Terrafolk's latest projects is called FULL CIRCLE. Produced with British pyrotechnic maestros The World Famous, FULL CIRCLE tells the story of the life-cycle of a tree as it battles the seasons and the elements. Check out the full story of FULL CIRCLE here.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
...the stroll upon the mystical and magical landscapes of the Moon continues... The video has been filmed with a digital camera in slow motion; the authors of the video came up with a special mechanism and technique which rotate the box, the central location of the video. Thus capturing the motion, and giving the inanimate an animate feature inside of the video. The camera is rotated simultaneously with the box, and the image stays static... The Dvojnica Video... on YouTube... SOON!
