Baklava was founded in 2005 as a result of the bond between the individual musical experiences of its members in their personal projects as well as the collaboration with other musicians and bands. Renouncing complex music forms and orchestrations, Baklava strives to express the perfection of simplicity, approaching its traditional folk music with reverent knowledge and sense of responsibility. Apart from the remakes of Macedonian folk compositions, Baklava's worldview is open to other folk traditions as well. That approach is demonstrated with a particular care on their new album "Me Mankas Mucho" (SJF Records), where they blend Macedonian and Balkan music tradition with the Sephardic, following their way and influence in the Eastern Mediterranean countries. Baklava's performance at OFF-Fest is going to be concert premiere of the new project of Baklava.
