Minafra, Livio & Eugenia Cherkazova - Round Trip Apulia Balkans

From Italy to the Balkans. On this journey, the Italian pianist Livio Minafra and the Greek-Ukrainian accordionist Eugenia Cherkazova, who is teaching her instrument at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Kiev, meet. Their music is lively, intense, deep and festive. It is a kind of improvised chamber music; Livio Minafra's compositions and arrangements touch on tarantella, the folk music of Italy and the Balkans, and jazz. The recordings are the result of three Apulian festivals: Wanda Landowska Festival 2018, Euterpe Festival 2018 and Talos Festival 2019. So have a good listen and a good trip!
