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 three different nations fire you up with violin, double bass, accordion, guitar, vocals, and percussion—getting you to dance, celebrate, and reach ecstasy.
Grenzenlos
Odiseja is a musical journey inspired by the timeless story of Odysseus, exploring themes of adventure, longing, friendship, discovery, and the encounter between cultures. Blending Balkan, Klezmer, Gypsy Jazz, and oriental influences with original compositions and traditional pieces, the album moves between intimate moments and energetic, unexpected turns. Odiseja just got released in October 2026. You can purchase it then 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.
Violin & Vocals: Raffaela Gmeiner
