An amateur pop choir in Serbia is finding unexpected success across the country. Its motto is simple: Anyone can sing. While community choirs are common elsewhere, they are rare in Serbia. The choir's no-stress, fun approach has attracted hundreds, mostly women of all ages. Since starting four years ago, Pop Hor has spread to 10 towns.

The choir often performs at festivals and events, bringing joy and reducing stress for its members.
