A large focus is on the traditional music they learned during their travels, tours, courses and different kinds of creative contexts and projects in different parts of European corners. The trio has come up with their own genre they call Scandi-Balkan folk-punk which consists of both traditional music from Scandinavia and the Balkans and their own compositions, mixed with improvisation and a large portion of humor as well as breathtakingly fast improvisation and communication skills between the members - a genre in constant transformation.

The band consists of the Slovenian world traveling puppeteer and accordion virtuoso Matija Solce, the Swedish/Chilean multi genre fireman percussionist Stefan Hedborg on drums and Sofia Högstadius, Swedish violinist from the north who fell deeply in love with Bulgarian folk music.

The members met back in 2009 when Matija studied at the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg, Sweden, and have since then collaborated in several different bands and projects through the years. The trio has since their official start as Trio Katastrofa in 2016 toured all around Europe in festivals, clubs and living rooms and always gives their audience an unforgettable show no matter stage size.
