Merging traditional music from Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia and Macedonia which they fashion in their own and original interpretations and compositions, Afion has created a name for themselves, not only in their home land Croatia, but also around Europe. At more than five hundred concerts, playing in the clubs as well as on big festival stages they gained a cult status and large number of followers. Their live performances are probably best described in few words as the “acoustic sound with the energy of the rock & roll band” (J. Bousfield, Rough Guide to Croatia) which makes the audience dance, laugh and cry. Afion’s both studio albums (Afion, 2006 and Čudni svati, 2008) are nominated for the Croatian Music Award Porin.

The members of Afion are being engaged in various music projects, collaborating with many other musicians and are involved in teaching as well as giving music workshops led by the idea that, to stay “alive”, music should be shared. After hiatus of several years Afion is coming back more mature and hungry for new performances with new material. Their new album, “Treći Bilbil”, was released last year where the band was also supposed to perform at ALICE. Due to COVID-19 the tour had to be postponed, but now Copenhagen finally gets the chance. Fans of poetic Balkan folk should not miss their concert presented by ALICE at Musikhuset København!
