Trio Katastrofa
“Scorpions at the Moscow stadium would’ve been green with envy if they’d witnessed such a performance. What the trio showed was a demonstration of perfect communication with the audience, as well as a demonstration of musical mastery, with a joyfulness that can make you laugh.”
Michal Kaščák, program director of Pohoda festival
Inspired by places and meetings with people and cultures, the Trio Katastrofa is constantly looking for new material. A large focus is put on traditional music they learned during their travels, tours, courses and projects in different parts of Europe. Their Scandi-Balkan folk punk consists of both traditional music from Scandinavia and the Balkans. Their compositions are intertwined with improvisation and injected with large doses of humor. The band consists of the Slovenian world-travelling puppeteer and accordion virtuoso Matija Solce, the Swedish/Chilean multigenre percussionist Stefan Hedborg on drums and Swedish violinist Sofia Högstadius, who is deeply in love with Bulgarian folk music.
