‘Balkan voice with Mexican sensitivity.’ – Boletines Dependencias
’Fascinating, not fitting into any neat genres or boxes. You get the drift: this is fieldwork, turned into contemporary, experimental folk song.’ – Songlines
‘Katja’s subtlety speaks to the essence of everything, to flowers filled with sunshine, to trees scented with birdsong, to mountains growing into the depths.’ -Pripovedovalski festival
