Kries

About Me

News: .................... ............................................................ ............ Kries means "bonfire" in the the archaic form of Croatian language.Bonfire for us is a symbol of gathering, warmth, light...Most of the lyrics and some lead melodies Kries uses are traditional from this area. We are not trying to "preserve" or "save" them - there are people who do that and ways to do that, better than ours. We just enjoy their symbolism, words, tunes... We just like the feelings they invoke.
