A native of Santa Cruz, California, Eva Salina Primack has been studying, performing, and teaching Balkan music since she was a young child. In her first quarter century, she has quickly become known as one of the preeminent singers, interpreters and teachers of traditional Balkan vocal music, singing through the traditions of Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey, and Balkan Romani music. Eva’s voice is rich, versatile, agile, deep and powerful; her teaching is enthusiastic, skillful, inspired and inspiring.

Eva has collaborated to varying degrees (performing, touring, recording, and teaching) with many Balkan and American musicians, including Slavic Soul Party!, Which Way East, Kadife, Veveritse, Seido Salifoski’s Romski Boji, Édessa, Tzvetanka Varimezova, Italian Balkan/Jazz Project Opa Cupa and KITKA. Eva received a B.A. in Ethnomusicology from UCLA, where she studied extensively with Tzvetanka Varimezova. From 2009-2011 Eva toured primarily with Ash (Æ), a duo with Aurelia Shrenker that sings through and around the vocal traditions of the Balkans, Appalachia, Caucasus Georgia, and Corsica. Currently, Eva is working on a number of new projects (including a new band under her name that includes many prominent NYC-based musicians) and collaborations in New York, Los Angeles, and Europe. Though Eva resides in Brooklyn, NY, she performs and teaches nationally and internationally at camps, workshops and festivals.
