The DUOMEETING Ensemble (Karparov, Rainer, Brunn) recorded the new CD “New Urban World Melodic Grooves” in 2020 under corona conditions, which will be released in March 2021 on LAIKA Records.

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 CD can be ordered with a dedication for 15 € (including shipping). And we also provide a link to the CD for downloading mp3.
