“…for the voices of the past we have respect, to the present moment of creation we are fully committed. and for the future? we are very very čúrïouš.” With these words, the manifesto of the seven-member collective Çhâñt Élečtrónïqùe concludes, as they return to Zagreb after three years. These words perhaps best capture the essence of the music the group creates. Drawing on traditional music as a foundation, they add electronic elements to open up new dimensions. Çhâñt Élečtrónïqùe bring the modern into the ancient.

At a time when traditional music is often exploited for superficial tourist purposes, and when many argue that tradition should neither be altered nor modernised, Çhâñt Élečtrónïqùe’s approach restores the discussion to its essential foundations. Tradition is a living entity; it has always been subject to change. In the context of the present moment, the music created by Çhâñt Élečtrónïqùe strikes a compelling balance between tradition and contemporaneity.

The members of Çhâñt Élečtrónïqùe met at various traditional music workshops and come from France, Portugal, Ireland, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The group includes the well-known Dunja Bahtijarević and Nenad Kovačić, alongside Teresa Campos (Portugal), Louise Calzada, Nils Peschanski and Raphael Hardy (France), and Darragh Quinn (Ireland).

“…Çhâñt Élečtrónïqùe experiments with distinctive archaic ethno chants of local communities, infused with electronics and creatively produced interventions that sound fantastic… Çhâñt Élečtrónïqùe undoubtedly deserves great attention and, judging by all indications, will receive it on the global music scene thanks to its creative boldness and successful experimentation.”
