About this Event

About the Artist
Etnika is one of Malta’s pioneering ensembles in contemporary folk music, founded in 2000 with the mission to revive and reimagine the nation’s traditional musical heritage. What began as a research project grew into a cultural movement, as the group rediscovered and reconstructed nearly forgotten Maltese instruments and melodies, giving them a new voice in the present. The group has toured extensively, from the Montreux Jazz Festival to stages across Europe and North Africa, winning international praise for their inventive approach to tradition.
Their vision has always gone beyond music alone: their multimedia productions, such as the celebrated Etnikafé series, combined music, dance, projections, and performance art in evocative settings, earning them widespread acclaim. In 2016 they returned with a refined six-member line-up and a new project, Maddalena’s Marvellous Tripfolk Klabb. Here, they introduced their own “tripfolk” style – a fusion of Maltese folk memory with futuristic synths, guitars, unconventional percussion, dance and footwork with haunting vocals – a sound both nostalgic and forward-looking.
