Grenzenlos
In Slavic mythology, we know Baba Yaga as a wild, unpredictable, and often dangerous female figure. And that’s exactly how the band Baba Yaga sounds: fiery Balkan tunes blend with virtuosic Klezmer pieces, lively Gypsy jazz, and sensual Oriental dances. The five young musicians from Austria, Montenegro, and Israel fire you up with violin, double bass, accordion, guitar, vocals, and percussion—getting you to dance, celebrate, and reach ecstasy.
Grenzenlos
After two years of intense collaboration, the time has finally come: Baba Yaga presented their first album in 2024 with a fresh mixture of newly arranged traditionals and virtuous originals.
The album is titled Grenzenlos (translated as Boundless/Limitless/without borders) and is supported by the Austrian Music Fund. You can purchase it now as vinyl or CD and listen to it online.
Grenzenlos
The band project has existed for several years, but the current lineup only came together in 2023. All the musicians met in Vienna—some through jazz studies, others through various band projects where they had already played together.
The five members compose and arrange music collaboratively, rehearse together in Vienna, and see Baba Yaga as a wonderful musical project centered on community, pure joy of life, and musical adventure.
Grenzenlos
Each member brings unique strengths to the group, and together they grow and create something entirely new.
Following the successful reception of their debut album Grenzenlos, the band is now set to take to international stages this year, with performances in France, Germany & Switzerland.

NEWS
NEW MUSIC VIDEO RAFFAELLA'S FLOWER
love is a flower
it grows but is meant to die
love is a flower
so prepare to say goodbye
With these dramatic words begins "Raffaella's Flower." Inspired by a passionate yet sorrowful painting by the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, Raffaella della Gemma composed the piece to express both the beauty and the fear of love's transience. The song is featured on the album Grenzenlos.
The artistic music video was produced by Jay Choma. A heartfelt thank you goes to Christa and Hannes Gstöttenmayr of Galerie Neunzendorf (Upper Austria), who kindly allowed us to film in their paradisiacal garden.
MUSIC VIDEO DARK EYES
To start off the fall, we have released a dark, sensual video of the well-known classic "Dark Eyes", which you can watch on YouTube.
Many thanks go to the video artist Jay Choma and the Golden Harp 1030 for providing us with this charismatic location.

Our brand new music video for our song "Járbă, máré járbă" is an ode to summer: We dance on the fresh, green meadow, framed by blossoming trees in the sunset and sing the beautiful Romani song Járbă, máré járbă.
Many thanks to Jay Choma for the video production and the Gstöttenmayr family for providing us with the location Galerie Neunzendorf.
