Tamara Obrovac & Transhistria ensemble

This brilliant ensemble takes the audience for a unique and passionate musical journey through Istria and the Mediterranean with modern jazz expression.
When playing Tamara’s unique music, the outstanding musicians from her international Transhistria ensemble skillfully and naturally incorporate the elements of modern jazz with the elements of Istrian and Mediterranean folk music, achieving a seemingly incredibly easy expression characteristic only of the greatest of artists

This outstanding ensemble is well known for the obvious alchemy between its members who communicate almost telepathically. Their performances are infused with spontaneity, innovative improvisations, freedom, humor, and powerful communication, while her voice is equally effective when she sings lyrics or vocalizes, becoming an instrument in its own right.

This natural coexistence of various musical forms and improvisations is what established Tamara Obrovac as an extraordinary artist who uses elements of her own tradition to create a distinct musical idiom, becoming more and more recognized and present on the global musical scene. Her music is authentic, genuine and modern, personal and universal, regional and global.
