Kaldrma is a joint effort of two groups, String Forces and The Pece Atanasovski Ensemble, stylistically two radically different bands. The first one is a well-known pop band that has their origins in pop/improv/jazz/electronica, whereas The Pece Atanasovski Ensemble is a group that performs strictly traditional music.

Provoked by the negligence towards "the chalgia" as a specific mark of the traditional urban Macedonian lifestyle, these two groups have decided to provide their own contribution and make new inroads into this invaluable part of the Macedonian musical heritage.

The result of that is Kaldrma , a collection of eleven songs and reels that are usually referred to as chalgia.
