VARTRA stands as a formidable collective, a fusion of accomplished musicians, captivating dancers, and skilled craftsmen hailing from city of Belgrade, Serbia. United by a shared passion, our collective mission is to weave enchantment and mystery onto the stage, employing a distinctive tapestry woven from our diverse skills, interests, and life experiences.
In the realm of music, our compositions draw inspiration from a kaleidoscope of genres. From the rich tapestry of traditional Balkan melodies that seamlessly blend Slavic and oriental influences to the echoes of indigenous musical styles from cultures spanning the globe, our sonic landscape is further colored by the raw, industrial tones and dark atmospheric sounds characteristic of genres like doom metal.

Our lyrical narratives are steeped in the ancient, rooted in old folk incantations and mantras from the Balkan region. Sung in the evocative languages of Serbian and Vlach, our lyrics evoke a timeless connection to the cultural depths of the past. Adding a tactile and primal dimension to our performances, we embrace the artistry of Siniša Gavrić, our main instrumentalist and vocalist. Gavrić handcrafts our instruments, fashioning drums and rattles from ethically sourced animal skins and materials foraged from the rivers and mountains of Serbia.
VARTRA transcends the boundaries of mere musical collaboration; we are a tightly-knit community, a gathering of friends and family dedicated to breathing new life into a bygone era within the contemporary landscape. Our collective spirit endeavors to resurrect the essence of a time long past, infusing it with fresh vitality and a renewed sense of purpose.
