Donis is a unique post-folk project from Klaipėda, Lithuania (a harbour city of Western Lithuania on the Baltic Sea), masterminded by a young talented multi-instrumentalist, Donatas Bielkauskas. The name of the project truly corresponds to the shortened form of artist first name. The most unusual and characteristic feature of his music is an idiosyncratic blend of the ancient Baltic folklore and contemporary arrangements. Donis' compositions are hard grooving, subtly refined and solid sounding.
