The concept of the band, in which the lyrics tell stories of hard female destiny and the music is purposely sarcastic, belongs to Belarussian artist/poet Andrus Takidang. After a while the acoustic 4-piece band turned into a small, 8-piece orchestra which includes also electric instruments. The music itself is a fusion of SKA, Reggae, Punk-rock, Jazz and Balcan styles. The peculiar instrumental line-up, the smokey timbre of a singer, unconventional forms of compositions and an extremely energetic stage presence make them stand out from other bands. The music of Harotnica is meant for both - punks and melancholics, it makes you go wild, but can also sit you down.
