SUTARTRONICA AT PIN CONFERENCE

Following a North American tour, Sutartronica traveled to Skopje, North Macedonia, in late November for the PIN Showcase & Conference—the largest and most vibrant music industry event in the Balkans. This short documentary covers the band's activities: performing for new audiences, participating in industry discussions, meeting other bands, and exploring the beautiful city of Skopje. The trip held a special personal resonance for founder Viktor Diawara, who discovered ancestral connections to the region. The documentary highlights the group's efforts to expand their reach into new markets and the success of their modern take on traditional Lithuanian music.

In early April, Sutartronica took part in the international music festival and conference Tallinn Music Week in Estonia — the largest showcase event in the Baltic region. During the trip, the band filmed a short documentary capturing moments of preparation, performance, networking, and behind-the-scenes impressions. The festival marked a symbolic turning point: Sutartronica performed for the last time under their former name Elektroninės Sutartinės, introducing their renewed identity to the international audience. The new name reflects the project’s vision — bridging Lithuania’s UNESCO-listed sutartinės tradition with contemporary electronic sound.
