"Bura" is a brand new album by guitarist Raphael Rogiński and the group Ružičniak Tajni (Svetlana Spajić, Marina Džukljev and Tijana Golubović). Album features guest appearances by Piotr Zabrodzki (LXMP, Mitch & Mitch) and Mila Gavrilovič.

Ružičniak Tajni is a unique meeting of Polish and Serbian musical traditions, the result of cooperation between artists seeking new forms of expression based on the cultural heritage of Central and Eastern Europe. The initiator of the project is Raphael Rogiński - a Polish guitarist, composer and researcher, known for his experimental approach to traditional music and his love of improvisation.

In the project, he is accompanied by three outstanding Serbian artists whose work is a conscious combination of local traditions and modern expression:

Svetlana Spajić - a renowned ethnomusicologist and singer, specializing in old vocal techniques and archaic song forms. Her interpretations combine authenticity of message with sensitivity to the contemporary context.

Marina Džukljev - a pianist moving in the area of ​​improvised and experimental music, known for deconstructing harmonic and rhythmic structures.

Tijana Golubović - a violinist and vocalist, drawing from folk performance practice, while simultaneously exploring new sonic narratives.

Their collaboration resulted in the album "Bura", recorded in Serbia in November 2024. The title refers to the characteristic wind from the northern Balkans, symbolizing both the forces of nature and the cultural tensions shaping the identity of the region. The album is a musical encounter of traditional Serbian songs - reconstructed on the basis of oral traditions and archival materials - with modern means of expression. Another key element are Raphael Rogiński's original compositions, inspired by Sufi poetry, which was translated into Serbian in the 19th century.
