ABOUT
Romanika is, specifically, the musical stylings of a half-blood Gypsy/Slovak singer, author of music and guitarist, Ika Kraicová, and a Slovak upright bass player, Roman Kraic, and accordionist Martin Chovanec.
Their songs are a colorful mosaic of various emotional expressions - passion, depth, and anger, joy with elements of pain, sadness which is not a lamentation, but the anticipation of something unexplained, almost sinful. You can hear ballads, chansons, czardas, wild songs, and world music.
After the first tones and words, it is clear that before the spectators' eyes there is a singer with an uncommonly artistic disposition and a fresh, unforgettable stage presence. In connection with a marvelous palette of colors springing from the double bass and accordion, the Romanika music makes all the little strings in your body tremble with joy.
The band, in existence since 2004, has recorded 5 albums.
Mostly playing as a trio, they are currently performing with special musical guests – a violin player, a percussionist, and a cimbalom player.
