About the Artist:
Samodiva Nestya (from Bulgarian "fire-dancing sirens") is an Edinburgh-based contemporary 8-piece folk ensemble. Bringing together three-part vocal harmonies with an eclectic line-up including violin, cello, clarsach, percussion, and a multi-instrumentalist playing accordion, double bass, mandolin, and more.

Specialising in the folk traditions of Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean, Samodiva Nestya creates original songs and arrangements that blend diverse musical cultures with influences from traditional, classical, pop/rock, and contemporary music. Their performances are further enriched by traditional dance.

Since 2023, the ensemble has performed at iconic Edinburgh venues including Pianodrome, The Cave, and La Belle Angele, supported artists such as The Langan Band, Lizabett Russo, and Blue Giant Orchestra, and appeared at both Kelburn Garden Party and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

They have recently released their first EP and are currently working towards their first album. You can listen to their music here:
