Formely known as Elektroninės Sutartinės, Sutartronica blends ancient Lithuanian folk songs “sutartinės” with modern electronic music, creating a unique fusion of tradition and contemporary sound.

The band consists of four members: producer/musician Victor Diawara, folklore researcher and vocalist Laurita Peleniute,  Elena Dambrauskaite and Eglė Jačauskienė

Their music draws inspiration from Sutartines, a traditional Lithuanian style of polyphonic singing that is characterized by intricate harmonies and rhythms. 

Sutartinės (from the word sutarti – to be in concordance) is a form of polyphonic music performed by female singers in north-east Lithuania. The songs have simple melodies, with two to five pitches, and comprise two distinct parts: a meaningful main text and a refrain that may include nonce words. There are almost forty different styles and ways of performing Sutartinės. The poetic texts encompass many themes, including work, calendar rituals, weddings, family, wars, history and moments of daily life. Sutartinės are performed on solemn occasions, as well as festivals, concerts and social gatherings. Their performance promotes the sharing of cultural values and provides a feeling of cultural identity, continuity and self-esteem. Sutartinės are usually sung by women.

By combining these traditional elements with electronic beats, synths, and samples, Elektroninės Sutartinės creates a sound that is both rooted in tradition and forward-thinking. Their live shows are  energetic, passionate, dynamic and very engaging. Overall,  Sutartonica is a band that is pushing the boundaries of traditional music while staying true to their roots. This year the band played at Tallinn Music Week, Printemps de Bourg, they will perform at WOMEX, Mundial Montreal and PIN in 2025.
