Teofilovic
Twins
Teofilovic Twins, Ratko and
Radisa, are, in every meaning of the word, unique performers of ancient
Serbian and Balkan music. During their fifteen years of preparations -
before they finally decided to break the silence and appear on European
scene - they have solved the "mystery of the second voice," and found long
lost harmonies of traditional singing. Their debut album "Cuvari sna"
("Dream Keepers"), released 1998 was the first one of the future series of
four albums, that would complete the initial circle.
Teofilovic Twins have been
making recordings for the National Radio and Television since 1994 and up to
now have recorded 3 CD's. They also took part in all great spiritual and
secular festivals and music gatherings in their country.

The music of Teofilovic Twins
anticipates more than two centuries of traditional musical heritage and
evokes the spirit of the entire region. Many songs have been buried deep in
the collective memory of the people, many others forgotten, or in pieces.
They have searched for them, found them and put them back to life, giving
them back their original meanings and feelings, enriched with contemporary
influences. The songs are arranged and performed with deep respect not only
for yesterday, but for today and tomorrow as well.
If you wish, you too could become part of their magic. Then, you could share
the secret with others: that somewhere deep in the ancient and mystic Balkan
region of Europe two people sing as one, keeping a dream alive.  |
