Roko Margeta, is the youngest member of Dunja’s band Kololira. Just like Dunja who has lived in a number of countries (USA., Indonesia, Russia), Roko Margeta had the chance to experience the culture of other countries besides Croatia (Egypt, China, India, Indonesia). He is a very accomplished musician playing on a wide array of instruments. Although he is primarily a percussionist, he is equally good at playing the keyboards, Indian harmonium, ukulele, kalimba, sansula, swarmandal, tanpura, tapan, frame drum, egzotic flutes (from Indonesian to Irish flutes). He performs with different bands, and the most successful are: Lizards exist and Et\u2019nas.<\/p>\n
