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.
NEW: For Free Hands meets Alaa Zouiten @ Jazzlights „Antonio´s Night“

BALKANOVA played with STOYAN YANKOULOV in 2010 at the BERLIN BALKAN SLAM-FESTIVAL PFEFFERBERG HAUS 13. The new festival BERLIN BALKAN SLAM in Pfefferberg presented a colorful, traditional and modern variety of BALKAN music. Two Bulgarian musicians played at the festival: the drummer and percussionist Stoyan Yankoulov and the accordion player Martin Lubenov.
Stoyan Yankoulov played both days,the first with BalkaNova – a trio with a singer from Berlin:Viktoria Lasaroff, and the second witha newly established Festival-Quartet: Stoyan Yankoulovs (drums); Jonathan Robinson (bass); Vladimir Karparov (sax); Andreas Brunn (guitar).
We would like to thank for her outstanding pictures.
