It has been quiet on the stages of this world lately, years marked by longing and hope. A musical firework with emotionally charged music from the Balkans now brings the five virtuosos of Foaie Verde ("green leaf") on their new album. They come from four different European countries and fuse Hungarian, Romanian folk music, fast-paced Balkan sound as well as Macedonian, Albanian and Turkish melodies into an irresistible listening pleasure. Own compositions in the style of this music enrich the program. The ensemble around violin virtuoso Sebastian Mare and charismatic singer Katalin Horvath captures the pure joie de vivre of this fiery, life-affirming music in their very own, multi-faceted arrangements and offers a musical experience that is unparalleled in Germany. With Vladimir Trenin on bayan, Frank Wekenmann on guitar and Veit Hübner on contrabass, the band is international and top-class. The third album of "Foaie Verde" has another surprise in store. This time, Mulo Francel from "Quadro Nuevo" will be a guest. Bold rhythms and breathtaking runs on violin, accordion, guitar and double bass meet emotionally charged vocals coming from the depths, clarinet and saxophone, unbridled energy as well as joie de vivre and alternate with quiet, melancholic sounds. In this way, Foaie Verde succeeds in reproducing the traditional music of the Balkans in an authentic and interesting way, while at the same time refreshing it with new elements
