Kitka – Women’s Vocal Ensemble

Kitka is an American women’s vocal ensemble inspired by traditional songs and vocal techniques from Eastern Europe and Eurasia. The women are fearless sonic explorers, and you can hear their intrepid spirit in every haunting song.

Traveling to rural communities in Armenia and Bulgaria, Ukraine and Georgia, Serbia and Turkey, they’ve gathered songs and communed with elders who are often the last links to centuries-old traditions. The ravishing textures of the women’s voices, unearthly cadences, angular rhythms and unfamiliar languages make Kitka’s performances an enthralling experience.
