about
Lelek is a Croatian female vocal ensemble blending traditional Balkan folk influences with contemporary pop production and cinematic soundscapes. Formed in 2024, the five-member group quickly stood out for their rich harmonies, ethno-inspired arrangements and emotionally charged storytelling. Lelek first gained nationwide recognition at Dora 2025, Croatia’s national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, where they competed with “The Soul of My Soul” and finished fourth in the final. Their powerful stage presence and distinctive fusion of heritage and modern pop marked them as one of the standout new acts of the season. In 2026, they returned to Dora with “Andromeda”, an atmospheric and vocally layered performance that showcased their artistic growth. The group won Dora 2026, securing first place with both jury and public support, and earned the honour of representing Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. With a sound rooted in tradition yet shaped for contemporary audiences, Lelek represents a new wave of Croatian artists redefining folk expression for the modern stage. Group members include Inka Večerina Perušić, Judita Štorga, Korina Olivia Rogić, Lara Brtan and Marina Ramljak.
