Bahtalo Dive

The four-member vocal-instrumental ensemble Bahtalo Dive from Kruševac are coming to the 19th Street Musicians Festival to remind the audience of the sounds of old city songs and of our poets by interpreting them in their own way.

Translated from Romani, ‘Bahtalo Dive’ means ‘Good day’, and this acoustic band actually perform every song as if they wanted to wish a good day to themselves, to the audience and to the world. The band members are Vušin Simić on accordion, Tomislav Ilić on guitar, Mila Pavlović on vocals and castanets, and Borivoje Đorđević on vocals, clarinet and frula.
