Oko - OKO (2023)

OKO have mixed traditional vocal harmonies and new sounds inspired by Bulgarian, Serbian, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Laz, Georgian, and Turkish folk songs on this debut album. It draws out stories that tell of universal experience — stories that unite us and with which we can all identify... love, friendship, pain, anger, disappointment. Particularly focusing on a female perspective, OKO connects their own contemporary world with old experiences from different times, places and realities

OKO: Vocal polyphony and tradition confront modernity and global perspectives, questioning what brings us together and what tears us apart. The timeless ancestral call of three voices and traditional instruments saz and violin, mashed together with synths, electric guitar, loop station and electronic soundscapes.

OKO consists of the following artists who are currently working on their own respective projects

Petra Nachtmanova (voice, saz, çiftelija, bass, percussion)
Moss Beynon Juckes (voice, violin, guitar and electronics)
Emma Greenfield (voice, guitar, cornet, percussion)
