A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
Kalio Gayo - Party Folk

Kalio breaks through barriers with music that mixes folk, ska, punk, and reggae.

Two frontwomen let you shout along in a language you don't know, a language from a place east of your imagination.

Kalio rocks folky and breaks with traditions... always with the song in mind.

Making a smashing party with loads of energy, open to everything that passes by. On her endless musical journey, Kalio dances from Belgrade to Biddinghuizen to Bogotá, surprised at how small the world really is. Summers with festivals like Lowlands, Into The Great Wide Open, Festival Mundial, Bestival (UK), and Oerol clearly had an impact on the music. Hardened, a more solid sound and with even more influences: Cosmopolitan 2.0

Kalio Gayo is do-it-yourself and rebellious optimism.
