ANASTASIA  (Macedonian Анастасија, transliterated Anastasija) is a group from Skopje, Macedonia. Existing for 8 years, it is the most successful group in the country and has become widely known on the international stages. The music is a unique blend combining the Byzantine past, through Eastern Orthodox church music, with a rich gamut of ethnic rhythms. The instruments played are typical for the area where the group comes from and dwells in, such as kaval (flute), gajda (bagpipe), and tapan (drum), but modern technology like computers, samplers, synthesizers, etc. is also used.
