“FINALE Musicology SHOWCASE by Lenovo” represents a unique opportunity to promote local original bands, placing them at the forefront of the music scene.
Lilin is a band that radiates a blend of neo-soul, jazz, and funk. Their story began in 2022, born from the shared passion of two young artists drawn to innovative sounds that initially flirted with electronic beats.
Their songs, performed in English, offer fresh perspectives on themes of love, self-acceptance, and the art of truly living.
Through their lyrics, they aim to inspire listeners to open up and explore the deeper layers of their inner world, delivering music that is both emotional and refreshing.
Ana Protulipac, a young bass guitarist, began her musical journey playing bass in various local bands.
Her love for singing and the artistic drive to express her emotions through songwriting eventually led her to pursue a solo career.
With her debut single “Svetla”, Ana gently introduced audiences to her soft and intimate sound. The songs that followed, featured on her EP “Samo dišem” (“I’m Just Breathing”), form a cohesive body of work that offers a deeper glimpse into her unique musical expression.
Stevan Milijanović Ambiental Project is a true genre-defying act. Its members are already well known on the Belgrade jazz scene, and in this ensemble, they explore new sonic territories—experimenting with Oriental influences, exotic rhythms, and rich harmonies.
The result is a modern approach to composition and musical expression, reflecting current trends on the global jazz scene.
Their music offers a unique listening experience for all jazz enthusiasts.
Coffee Shop Kollektive is an ambitious young group that blends various genres into a unique and cohesive sound, creating an experience where musical worlds and diverse influences come together.
Their music takes listeners on a distinctive journey through genres, where the classic sounds of funk weave through electronic rhythms and sophisticated jazz arrangements.
ILIJA began his musical education in elementary music school and continued through high school, specializing in Jazz vocals. In 2018, he became a scholarship recipient at the prestigious Berklee College of Music.
He is focused on developing original music that blends soulful melodies, gospel-inspired vocal techniques, funk rhythms, and modern production to create a contemporary R&B sound. Currently, he is actively engaged in vocal performance.
Dino & The Groove Society is a large fusion band from Sarajevo.
These young musicians, full of energy and virtuosity, are strongly inspired by the sounds of world-renowned groups like Snarky Puppy, Dirty Loops, Cory Wong, and many others.
You’ll have the chance to experience their exciting fusion compositions firsthand.
“Bend Ane Štajdohar bez Ane Štajdohar” (“Ana Štajdohar’s Band Without Ana Štajdohar”), or simply BAŠ BAŠ, is a band you know as the in-house band for the shows “Veče sa Ivanom Ivanovićem” and “4 i po’ muškarca.” The band has been active for 15 years.
Besides their well-known work, they also focus on original compositions. Their music blends jazz, fusion, and funk, delivering a unique musical experience.
We invite all music lovers and supporters of the local music scene to join us for this special event.
