VRELO's music is simple, natural and logical, but unusual and original fusion of traditional Serbian singing and new music genres (punk, rock, reggae, dub, techno…). It is bridge between now and then, here and there. It is music for dance (Serbian kolo, ritual dance, dance arena…), for love and hope, for tears and for joy… VRELO keeps musical genetic code in a "special package" and brings a new treasure to the world music scene. VRELO is an art, culture, entertainment, burlesque…
VRELO was founded by Natasa Tomic at the very beginning of 1996 in Ruma, Serbia. Up to 2003 VRELO performs traditional vocal and vocal-instrumental music of Serbs and other Slavic nations, but with original arrangements. In that period the small orchestra of traditional instruments was also part of the VRELO.
In the autumn of 2003 the bass player Stanko Tomic joined the ensemble and brought ideas that changed music concept of VRELO. Traditional instruments were replaced by electric bass guitar and drums, and vocal-instrumental ethno ensemble was transformed into band. VRELO still uses the Serbian traditional vocal music substance as the basic element of their work, but combines it with modern music and stage forms. At one side the minimalistic approach, simplification and nakedness of the expression through only two instruments (bass guitar and drums), and on the other side several female voices moving between old, inherited archetypal patterns and modern expression, are joined in the music of VRELO into unique wholeness.
After entering BBC`s The Next Big Thing 2007 VRELO was chosen among over 2500 performers from 88 countries to play in London at Maida Vale studio and won 2nd place of this prestigeous competition with their song Posle Mome.
Ever since, VRELO had a lots of performances at big festival and prestigue clubs an many Europian cities (Paris, Berlin, London, Oslo, Prague, Graz, Saint Petersburg, Budapest, Zurich...). In Serbia VRELO performed at all important festivals (Exit, Guca, Nisville, Zajecar Guitar Fest, BELEF...).
VRELO is a band with a well formed music expression, but it is not afraid to make changes. With every performance they make a step forward, building themselves and growing as a musicians. Various music experts (critics, producers…) see their music as very recognizable, strong and original, comparing to standard criteria. VRELO is one cheerful crew, always opened for new challenges and joys!
This will be their second performance at the Serbia World Music Festival. They performed at the first Festival in 2009.

Artistic association ''Šumadija'' from Gornji Milanovac was founded at Christmas 2006. when a group of experienced
players and folklor enthusiasts decided to gather the youth of this town and teach them, through dancing and singing,
to maintain the tradition of Rudnik and Takovo territory and the rest of Serbia as well. The folk orchestra ''Šumadija''
exists from the very beginning of the associations foundation. Members of the orchestra are mostly high school students who,
by dealing with folk music, do not allow it to be abandoned. Today Šumadija has more than 400 members organized into ten
groups and orchestra works under the professional leadership of Aleksandar Smrekić.
 What is particularly significant with the association is its cooperation with the Yugoslav - Norwegian Society.
Every year the ensemble participates in the central celebration of the the National Day of the Kingdom of Norway in Belgrade.
On this occasion they symbolically perform choreography from Serbia and the choreography of the Norwegian national dance.
In 2009. on the initiative of the Norwegian government, Šumadija, as one of the organizer, took part in the first
Serbia World Music festival in Takovo. The ensemble is also known for its willingness to help those who need help.
In cooperation with the Municipal Committee of the Red Cross they have organized several humanitarian concerts in
Serbia and in Skoplje, Tetovo, Kumanovo and Bijeljina as well.
