Friday, March 7th at 23.00, Menza pri koritu

Trip hop concert
Diyala (Croatia)

The loquacious MC, signer and poet Diyala and the master of raw trip-hop rhythms DJ Ain'tun are joining their hands to present a repertoire of songs that won Diyala the reputation of the “queen of Croatian trip hop”. She sums up her passion for performance, rhymes and the audience in verses „my flow ain't flowing if ya ain't recognizing – thankfully yours, respecting my rhyming...“! Poetry, the rhythm of words and the rhythm of music...“IT'S DA FIX“!

Diyala got her first music experiences in the band Plag and in Zagreb’s hard core band Pure Steams Pack. In 2002, together with DJ Ain'tun and NMC, she became part of Tristosixty, a collective dedicated to hip-hop culture. The collective threw hip hop events, ran a hip-hop radio show and produced their own music. Diyala became more known by hosting on Edo Maajka's second album No sikiriki where she sang in the song Down. She also cooperated with break beat / future jazz duo Eddy Meets Jannah. In 2006 she was nominated for the “Zlatna koogla” award as the best new performer while MTV Adria has diligently broadcasted her video Raw, directed by Mirtja Okorn. Diyala is expecting the release of her debut album on which she is once again collaborating with her friend, producer and DJ Ain'tun. They are also expecting the release of the documentary film Croatian hip-hop story directed by Igor Kolovrat, which premiered in January 2008 and includes also their performance
