Atesh & Venera - Balkan Fiesta (2007)

Are you keen on experimental music which bears the mighty local spirit of the wedding but also an inventive curiosity toward exciting global sounds? If this is so, now is the moment to dash into the labyrinth of extraordinary and explosive fusion, spiced with an overdose of Balkan folk, jazz rock, Bulgarian, Romanian, Gypsy, and Turkish music!..

Ateshhan Yuseinov, the phenomenal guitarist, virtuoso and innovator in the world of the free music making, and Venera Marmozel, cradled with the folk singing of Danube area which is now approached by her in a modern and impressive manner, have chosen to take the challenge of the vital artistic provocation. Their music has not only abandoned well tried cliches; it also catches and penetrates into the human soul as only the masters-improvisers are able to do it. Either with a pinch of humour, sensual pleasure or a notion of mysterious expression, their unpredictable sound excursions leave you breathless while playing around a bunch of firing and imaginative novelties…

Venera and Ateshhan: together in life, why not also in music?.. Not alone their irresistible artistic journey, they enjoy a first-class company of superb musicians who are well inside the marvels of the Balkan music and seem to be eager, again, to retrieve and hunt up the hot passions of the Balkan soul, to twirl round the swing of the famed native grooves, vivid tunes and colourful tones, drawn out of the knotty regional clew that seals the music from the Balkans.
