Denissenkov, Vladimir - Guzulka
SKU
08-FY8071
If you dig the accordion, this is a quite charming album of original music performed on accordion with additional music from vocalists, trombones and trumpets, bass, guitar and percussion, all influenced by the Eastern European tradition. "Guzulka is the second release on Dunya (after "Bajan" FY 8002) for one of the finest accordionists around. The Ukrainian master Vladimir Denissenkov provides ample confirmation, as if confirmation were needed, of his astounding talent and musical sensibility. Denissenkov, who has travelled the world over, has for several years now elected Italy as his adopted homeland, leading to collaborations with major Italian artists such as Fabrizio de Andr, Moni Ovadia and Ludovico Einaudi. Presenting a variety of new material, this album features Denissenkov fronting a sizeable band who are in harmony with his ideas and focus on the accordionist's own compositions which carry the music beyond the traditional cultural confines of his country of origin."
