Talented singer, songwriter and composer Tamara Jokić combines Balkan ferocity, Portuguese melancholy of fado and fiery Spanish flamenco, her concert is unforgettable – music as a universal language that talks about love, loss, passion, anger and inheritance.

As part of the jubilee 20th Guitar Art Summer Fest, Tamara Jokić’s big concert will be held on August 5, at 9 p.m., at the Music Square in Herceg Novi. Entrance to the concert is free.

Tamara Jokić with her band consisting of: Dušan Popović Lipovac – guitar, Manos Stratis – bass and Petar Zorkić – percussion, will perform tracks from both of her albums at the concert – on the first “Transibérica”, fado and flamenco melodies evoke the breath of the Iberian Peninsula, while on the album “Kuća” she deeply explores her Balkan roots, creating a unique blend of regional traditions and contemporary sounds.

The particularly prominent song “Vranjanka” from the latest album “Kuća”, which was recorded in New York with international musicians, carries the essence of passion, heritage and identity. The audience characterized this interpretation as a kind of hymn to the Balkan soul, emotionally strong and deeply sincere, performed by a voice that was created under the influence of brilliant musicians from Berklee.

Tamara Jokić was born in Serbia, and she broadened her musical horizons through studies of Spanish and Portuguese language and literature at the University of Belgrade, in order to receive a scholarship at the prestigious Berklee College in Boston, where she further developed her voice and compositional talent. Her career spans years, with performances all over the world, including prestigious stages such as Carnegie Hall in New York, Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid and the National Theater in Slovenia. With more than ten languages in her repertoire, Tamara is an artist who creates a true dialogue between cultures and traditions through music.

Don’t miss the evening when Balkan energy, fado sadness and flamenco passion create a unique atmosphere, in which each note carries a special story – a story about universal emotions that unite us.
