New Direction, Same Roots
His solo album Awakening, released in November 2024 by PGP RTS, marks a new chapter in his career.
Through eight tracks, including seven original compositions like “Konstantin” and “Rumba Sol”, Iva brings a fusion of Balkan melodies and modern arrangements, creating a sound that is both authentic and innovative. The track “Amen” is a traditional, original composition.
The album received excellent feedback from critics and audiences, with reviewers highlighting Iva’s skillful balance between preserving tradition and embracing artistic experimentation.
