What peoples say about us
Voices from critics, artists, and audiences around the world who have experienced the light of Mataniari.
“Mataniari is more than a performance group – they are a living archive of Batak heritage. The way they combine ancient instruments with modern stage presence is deeply moving. Their concert at Europalia was a spiritual experience.”

“As a classical violinist, collaborating with Mataniari was a revelation. Their rhythmic structures and tonal layers are rich, raw, and unlike anything I’ve heard before. It was a true cultural exchange, both musically and spirituallyt.”

“Watching Mataniari for the first time gave me goosebumps. I’m not Batak, but their music made me feel connected to something ancient and powerful. It’s beautiful to see tradition kept alive like this.”
