Lakiko

Lakiko is a cello - bowed, scratchy, repetitive and haunting. However Lakiko is also a voice, singing about a nomadic existence, nightmares, an archaic past and a dystopian future. Bosnian ethno music blend with classical music, breathy pop vocals with contemporary opera,driving beats next to nearly endless glissandi-loops,

…and in between again and again the haunting sound of a cello
