SAULĖ BALTA

DRUMS

Or in other words, our Sunny. Well, when it gets not very sunny, then we have Mandrake root. However, mood swings are common for a 11-year-old girl who has just started attending the last grade of elementary school. It's hard to believe, but Saulė has already attended concerts in her mother Indrė's belly. And when she was just a few years old, dressed in a medieval doll costume, she would crawl onto the stage to sit on a sheepskin while her parents played, and would slink behind her between performances, shamanically rubbing her face with coal. There are probably even witnesses who saw all this at the Trakai Island Castle's old crafts festivals. In addition to the fact that since 2020 Saulė Hansanova has been beating the drum, the bugle and wielding the bronze cymbal, she also plays the Lithuanian folk kankle and dances at the sports dance club "Vėtra" from Kaunas. Interestingly, from our concerts last season, she saved her own money and bought herself a PlayStation gaming computer, which she likes to play GTA5, Hogwart's Legacy, Bus Driver and a few Apple gadgets like an Ipad and Iphone. That is cool for a 11 years girl, isn't? You can hear Saulė's drumming and kankle playing on our both studio albums "Tavernos Kroniklos" (2023) and "Po Sočių Pietų" (2025).
