Hailing from Croatia, Brazil, Seattle, and New York City, the Astrid Kuljanic Transatlantic Exploration Company unites four musical worlds, bound by a shared dedication to and curiosity for music. Ms. Kuljanic’s instinct for exploration brought her to New York City, where she quickly became immersed in musical communities from India and Brazil, Klezmer music, avant-garde improvisation, and electronic experimentation. The creation of the band and their debut album represent Astrid's symbolic path from Croatia to New York: a journey to explore the music of the world while remaining connected to her roots.
