In their collaboration, Eva Salina & Peter Stan pick up and continue an interrupted legacy of empowered female voices in Balkan Romani (gypsy) music. Amplifying voices of past generations of Romani women musicians, Eva & Peter employ tenderness, grace, passion and a commitment to keeping these songs alive and evolving, while inspiring and teaching young people in the Balkans and the Balkan diaspora to continue to participate in living traditions. 

California-grown, Brooklyn-based Eva Salina is a groundbreaking interpreter of Balkan Romani songs. Raised in the US Balkan Diaspora, Eva's mentors are some of the greatest living Balkan musicians. Eva’s rich, supple voice moves effortlessly through the intricate and demanding expression of Romani songs, intertwining vintage pop songs with her singular interpretations. A passionate activist for dialogue and mutual understanding, Eva is committed to a life of collaboration and evolving musical traditions. 
 
Eva's duo partner is Peter “Perica” Stan, a Serbian/Romanian Romani accordionist known for his playful innovation and soulful, intuitive improvisations. Eva and Peter draw on a strong musical friendship, creating an inviting, intimate space where mournful contemplation nestles gently amongst songs of riotous joy, effortlessly transcending genre while celebrating life's complexity. Their new album, a portrait of one of Romani music’s most poignant women, comes out Fall 2017 on Vogiton Records.
