Gurgulitza is a Berlin-based vocal trio with one sacred mission - to breathe life into ancient folk songs and perform them to new audiences. In their travels, Madlen Stange, Netta Shahar and Nitsan Bernstein, collect polyphonic treasures and explore vocal techniques. From the raw materials they collect around the world, they weave theatrical musical performances that include vocal improvisation and audience participation.

​

Since the formation of Gurgulitza in 2018, they have been invited to participate in a number of festivals such as Krakow Jewish Culture Festival (Poland) and Folklorum Festival (Germany), and have been selected to be part of the culture program of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, in 2020 and 2022.

In addition, the trio develops special projects in collaboration with artists from various disciplines, integrating staging, costumes, and stage design. In 2019, they premiered Salon Gurgulitza, a theatrical vocal performance commissioned by the Musrara Mix Festival (Israel). In 2021–2022, they created Garage Gurgulitza, supported by Musikfonds e.V. and Mifal Hapais Council for Culture & Arts. Their latest project, Mama Gurgulitza, is a workshop-concert designed for all ages.

​

Each member of the trio comes from a different musical background, has a different performance style and a different artistic approach.

When together on stage, the distant worlds unite to create a spectacular mosaic of voices and dazzling fabric of artistic expressions. Wherever they perform, Gurgulitza manages to mesmerize the audience at every performance and take it on a fascinating musical journey.
