Something of a cult figure in his Bulgarian homeland, Ateshkhan Yuseinov is a guitar maverick whose unique approach combines both his Balkan and jazz influences. From impossibly intricate guitar improvisations to sublime balladry, Strange Suite also features two-time beatbox world champion SkilleR.

With his lightning fast improvisations and sublime balladry, Atesh is always looking to charter new territory, as he combines the fast rhythms and changes of Balkan folk music with the expressive freedom of jazz - all the more remarkable considering that Bulgaria doesn't have a guitar heritage of its own. Equally at home on other traditional string instruments including the saz and tambura, Atesh is well grounded in his native musical culture, which enables him to pay due respect to his musical forbears, whilst taking the listener on a musical journey far beyond the Balkans.
