Hello,
This month, we’re turning our attention to the power of music — a universal language that has healed, inspired, and transformed humanity for centuries. Science is now confirming what we’ve always felt: music impacts our mental health, influences our emotions, and even produces measurable physical effects on the body.
At Balkan Barber and Balkan Barber Cosmos, music is an essential part of your experience with us. It sets the tone, guides the energy, and brings deeper presence.
Here are three artists who inspire us daily:
Diana Vela – A beloved member of our tribe, her concerts offer a deeply immersive musical journey we wholeheartedly recommend.
Dario Poletti – A mentor who taught us the art of singing and playing instruments, inspiring us to explore the deeper layers of sound.
Freedom Café – A band that blends cultures through music. Their four albums are on repeat in our space and never fail to lift the mood.
Explore Sound With Us
Every Wednesday at Balkan Barber Cosmos, join Maria Chetrafillova for Alchemy of Sound: a vocal toning session using Solfeggio frequencies. This sound meditation awakens Divine Energies and Colors within your aura, resonating with the sacred scale — helping you shine, harmonize, and align with the energies of your Soul.
The practice includes vocal expressions of Solfeggio tones that will deeply nourish your cells.
Create Your Own Music
At the heart of Balkan Barber Cosmos, you’ll find a beautiful selection of kalimbas — a simple yet mesmerizing instrument with roots in Africa. Known as the “thumb piano,” the kalimba has enchanted people for centuries with its soft, melodic tones.
Here are a few fascinating facts about this unique instrument:
The kalimba originates from Africa, with references going back over 3,000 years. It has since evolved into many forms across the continent.
Played with the thumbs, its sound is sweet and resonant — perfect for relaxation or meditation.
Traditionally made from wood and metal tines, each kalimba produces a unique sound depending on its size and craftsmanship.
You can explore and purchase kalimbas on our website or visit us in person at our concept store.
