LELEK

A Croatian ethno-pop group formed in September 2024, LELEK combines elements of traditional Croatian music with a modern pop sound, with the goal of preserving and reinterpreting Slavic cultural identity.

They gained a lot of attention in Croatia with their debut single Tanani Nani, and even more so following their performance at Dora 2025 with the song The Soul of My Soul, with which they placed fourth.

The group consists of five members: Inka Večerina Perušić, Judita Štorga, Korina Olivia Rogić, Lara Brtan,and Marina Ramljak. Together, they have cultivated a distinctive music expression that fuses Croatian folk motifs (including traditional harmonies, rhythmic patterns and elements of folklore) with modern arrangements, electronic production and pop structures.

Their artistic focus lies in preserving Slavic musical and cultural heritage through contemporary media.
