ELIMA (live)

19/10/2025

Music and visuals unite to speak out for climate-consciousness. We are on a path of losing nature, culture and music, the very origins of the stories of who we were, who we are, who we can become – and what we are striving for. Through interpretations of folk music from Scandinavia and the Balkans, Elima tells stories about the joy and hope that nature brings, as well as all the despair and sorrow it holds.

The project brings together young musicians across musical traditions and cultural backgrounds, and unites them around what we all have in common: nature, our connection to it, and its destruction that we are witnessing. Elima’s constellation of members varies, and has previously included members from Iraq, Kurdistan and Scandinavia. Currently the group members unite the musical heritage of Scandinavia and the Balkans, specifically Bulgaria and Greece. The music of Elima is a meeting of people and traditions, where everything is welcomed and treated with respect, but without fear of new expressions and ideas.
