Elektroninės Sutartinės is a Lithuanian music project that fuses traditional sutartinės — Lithuanian multipart folk songs recognized as part of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage — with modern electronic genres. The band was founded by producer and musician Victor Diawara and folklore researcher and vocalist Laurita Peleniūtė. Their music is an experimental fusion of traditional cultural elements with contemporary beats, synths, and samples, creating a distinctive and innovative sound, resonating with both folk and electronic music audiences.

Performance Options:

  • Quartet: 3 singers + V. Diawara on electronics.

  • Quintet: The same lineup as the quartet but with either a violinist or drummer.

  • Full Band: 6-7 members with additional drums, violin, and bass/keyboard. This is our preferred setup for delivering the full experience of sutartinės fused with electronics.

We are also very open to collaborating with local musicians and incorporating local instruments into our performances to create even more interesting fusion sounds.

Key Members:

  • Laurita Peleniūtė: Folklorist and vocalist, central to bringing the sutartinės tradition to the project.

  • Victor Diawara: Producer/musician, responsible for creating the modern electronic elements.

  • Elena Dambrauskaitė & Eglė Jačauskienė: Vocalists who perform the traditional sutartinės harmonies live.

  • Boris Kulenovic: Keyboardist and bass guitarist.

  • Vytis Vainilaitis: Drummer.

  • Tadas Dešukas: Violinist.

Music & Releases:

  • Our debut album, Elektroninės Sutartinės, was released in 2021 and has been well-received for its innovative approach to combining Lithuanian folk traditions like sutartinės with modern music.

  • We are currently working on our second album, set to be released in 2025. The new album is partially funded by the Vilnius City Municipality.
