RUSSIAN FOLK: Iva Nova + Alec Kopyt

Wednesday, October 12, 20:30, entrance €9.

IVA NOVA
The ladies of IVA NOVA were inspired by the Slavic folk music, but they gave it a personal touch. A rather wild touch, we might add. Don’t expect traditional Russian folk, these ladies rock a little too hard for that. But when the two lead singers do some harmonies, they make one think of Vartinna. Their sonic expression is girlish and playful, yet feminine and proud. And if the accordion player picks up accordion, she can make you dream of the Russian countryside. But when one of the singers picks up her guitar, she brings you right back to the big city.

ALEC KOPYT
If you are looking for the authentic sound of the Russian Southern Sea port Odessa, with its spicy words, its ironic attitude to life, humanity and the seriousness of things to come – you have to give Alec Kopyt at least 120 seconds of your precious time… You will hear the long-forgotten street songs and the old Odessa will re-appear before your eyes…
