CROATIAN SINGER/SONGWRITER ELIS LOVRIĆ IN MANHATTAN FOR US DEBUT, WITH MUSIC FROM HER NATIVE ISTRIA AND A SPECIAL FILM EVENT (Oct. 10, 11)

New York, New York. September 14, 2026. – New York City lovers of World Music take note: Croatian singer/songwriter Elis Lovrić makes her US debut in the city October 10 and 11 with two live performances, followed by participation in the Mondo.NYC Conference October 13-16, regaling audiences with music in multiple languages and dialects and transforming the sounds of her native Istria, Croatia into an expression felt in every corner of the world.

Elis Lovrić’s music revolves around her ancestral Labinjonski, the ancient, endangered microlanguage of the Istrian hamlet of Labin now granted status as Protected Intangible Cultural Heritage of Croatia and which she, as Cultural Ambassador, has carried to the world at large with its unique sounds, Mediterranean emotion and theatrical storytelling (she is also an actress).

Her NYC tour launches Saturday October 10^th at Episcopal Actors’ Guild Hall, second floor of the landmark Little Church Around The Corner on 29th Street between Fifth and Madison Avenues. It starts at 3pm with a programme of contemporary Croatian short film curated by Bronx World Film, pioneer art house presenter, avid promoter of Croatian film since its inception in 2011 and partner with the Croatia-based International Sound and Film Music Festival, through which it comes to know of Elis. She will crown the screening events with an acoustic concert in the intimate setting of the Guild Hall.

Her second concert, on October 11^th, brings her to the East Village and DROM, where she sings with Earthman featuring Sound Medicalist led by Richard Laurent or Kraze, the house music legend behind The Party who now, as Earthman Experience, fuses voice, chanting, sitar and congas in a hypnotic crossroads of rhythm, sound and cultures. Audiences can follow lyrics in English in real time, onscreen and on their phones, through the InConcert Lyrics software.

Elis Lovrić winds up her whirlwind US debut in our city at Mondo.NYC, an annual four‑day music, arts, and technology business conference set for October 13–16 at the Arlo Williamsburg Hotel in Brooklyn.
