Foltin are an unusual cast, whose music is hard to define, and every attempt to insert it into a musical genre would not be very successful. Foltin’s music is surreal, passionate and witty, characterized with a frantic dance atmosphere, which is achieved with the fast Macedonian rhythm. Even though they use standard musical elements, their approach in creating the atmosphere is unpredictable and above all, original. In their musical identity the Anglo - Macedonian hybrid, is a collision between the East and West. Their language,“spontaneous Esperanto”, is an imaginary mixture or phonetic imitation of  Spanish, French, Romanian, Portuguese. Foltin describe themselves as pseudo-cabaret, and often their concerts are turning into real performances. They have worked on a music for a lot of theatre performances, in which they are famous for using the ready-made “instruments” or creating ambient sound with objects from unmusical primer function, construction of some kind of sculptures and installations. They took part in many musical and theatre festivals and have been awarded for their work many times. The group exists since 1995 and so far they have published four albums: "Out Re-Mer", "Archimed", "Donkey hot", "Lo-lee-ta-too" and just released "Foltin". The concert at OFF-Fest will be the first live promotion of the material from the new CD.
