Baba Yaga counts among the most exciting newcomer acts in the world music scene. Named after the figure from Slavic mythology, Baba Yaga serves as their musical inspiration: embodying the conscious breaking down and combining of musical boundaries. This creates a virtuosic, fiery sound that immediately invites you to dance. The sound remains pure and authentic: violin, double bass, guitar, vocals, accordion and percussion – what more do you need? Their repertoire ranges from Balkan pieces, klezmer, swing and gypsy jazz to oriental dances and original compositions with plenty of room for improvisation. The five musicians from three countries have been playing together since 2022. In Austria, the band has performed at venues including Porgy & Bess, Metropol, ORF Radiokulturhaus and the KlezMORE Festival; in 2025 they performed concerts in Germany, France and Switzerland. With their current album Grenzenlos (released 2024, Metropol Wien), Baba Yaga make a clear statement: music without stylistic and geographic boundaries. The title stands for connection rather than exclusion and for a musical language that works without words. Florian Gunacker – double bass, Raffaella della Gemma – violin, vocals, Jasmin Meiri – percussion, vocals, Anela Cindrak – accordion, David Mandlburger – guitar https://www.baba-yaga.at/ Co-production with: [Yiddish Culture Festival](https://www.yiddishculturevienna.at/)
