Zado is a Sacramento based vocal ensemble performing international folk songs, particularly songs from Eastern Europe. Their mission is to educate and inspire others about the beauty, complexity, styles, and intimacy of the folk songs they enjoy singing; record and preserve high-quality international folk music; learn and perform unique folk harmonies and rhythms that evoke the splendor of the human voice; and inspire others to treasure their own cultural roots and those of others. Their repertoire has included songs from Armenia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Israel, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, and Ukraine but they have fun singing all types of international folk songs.
