Tamara Obrovac transhistria ensemble (Histria is ancient name for Istria, - Croatia's coastal region) unique and passionate musical journey through the Istrian and Mediterranean spaces and times

The music of Tamara's international Transhistria Ensemble is a unique combination of jazz with the elements of Istrian and Mediterranean folk music and many elements of modern music.

The succes of this merger is certainly due to Tamara's incredibly fine-tuned sense of the istrian melody and dialect, combined with  jazz craft, but also  due the  artistic expression of this group of top-ranking musicians which does not rely on existing jazz cliches, but on their acute sense of intuition for eaach particular composition.

This exceptionally musical and creative band which is remarkable for the obvious alchemy between all its members shows its best side at live performances when it plays in a spontaneous and relaxed way ; their interpretations of Tamara's unique music are suffused with spontaneity, inventive improvisation, freedom, humour and the ability to communicate with the audience, while Tamara's voice is equally impressive when she sings lyrics and when she performs vocalizes...

Thanks to their experience and enviable musical skills, every member of the band is always ready for shifts and unexpected changes inspired by the atmosphere and by the mood of the moment.
