NEW: DUOMEETING  @ b-flat

Karparov & Brunn & 13 Strings met at our duo meeting.

Christian Erber, NDR (radio station): “DUOMEETING – a sound that can only arise in the cultural melting pot of a metropolis like Berlin. Created by three virtuosos on their instruments, to whom cultural boundaries and musical stereotyping are completely foreign.

With New Urban World Melodic Grooves, Brunn, Karparov and Rainer take their audience on a special kind of musical journey of discovery. Their compositions, in which Balkan rhythms mix with funk, Latin and world sounds, testify to extraordinary virtuosity and joy in playing. They never sound bulky or deafening, but always fresh, lively and sparkling. As you would expect in a pulsating melting pot.

The DUOMEETING Ensemble has just recorded a new CD under corona conditions.

The same will be released on LAIKA Records in March 2021.
