Fire in the Mountain and The Hackney Folk Club Presents

Alkanna Graeca

is a vocal trio blending raw folk traditions from the Balkans, East Mediterranean, and Black Sea with improvisation and expansive soundscapes. Formed by Dunja Botic, Alexandra Achillea, and Irini Arabatzi, the trio’s music intertwines the rich cultural heritage of their homelands with a bold, boundary-pushing edge. Hailed as “rising stars of polyphonic singing”, they have been selling out venues and drawing audiences in across festival stages in the UK and Greece.
