Blending driving Balkan beats, hypnotic grooves and soaring melodic lines
This Wellington-based ensemble creates a powerful, immersive sound rooted in tradition and alive with modern fire.
Featuring twin trumpets, saxophone, trombones, sousaphone, tapan (bass drum) and snare — plus the magnetic multilingual vocals of Nikkie Rich — their performances are rich, celebratory and impossible not to move to.
Festival favourites at WOMAD New Zealand and featured in What We Do in the Shadows, Niko Ne Zna are renowned for electrifying live shows that bring people together in a vibrant, border-crossing celebration of music and movement.
