Release: KROKE
After the film music for "Cabaret of Death" (RIENCD85, 2015), which was much more than a background soundtrack, Kroke have turned to the stage with a new project. Kroke's ability to express moods and feelings in her music serves not only as a foil for a dramatic event, but as reinforcement, compression and interpretation.
This album features music composed for the theatre production „Rejwach” - a stage adaptation of Mikołaj Grynberg’s book by the same title which premiered in October 2018 in the Ester Rachel and Ida Kamińska Jewish Theatre in Warsaw.
Release: DANIEL KAHN
On his new album BULAT BLUES Daniel Kahn devotes himself to the "Georges Brassens of the Soviet Union", Bulat Okudzhava, in new, own adaptations in English and a touch of Russian. Daniel Kahn is accompanied by the virtuoso Moscow musician Vanya Zhuk on the Russian 7-string guitar.
Georgian-Armenian Moscovite Bulat Shalvovich Okudzhava (1924-1997), spiritual father of all Russian guitar bards, is nearly unanimously adored in Russia and the post-Soviet diaspora.
