Foaie Verde

Foaie Verde - Virtuoso World Music from the Balkans

Five accomplished musicians from four different European countries receive standing ovations at every performance. They captivate audiences with music full of energy and joie de vivre from the Balkans and Southeast European countries. They build bridges between tradition and modernity, from traditional music to new virtuosic original compositions.

"Speed-folk" meets melancholy, straight and syncopated rhythms alternate with quiet, soul-touching sounds. Elements of jazz and classical music are skillfully woven into archaic folk music. Foaie Verde performs at home and abroad with vibrant and breathtaking virtuosity on accordion, violin, guitar, and double bass. The captivating singer, who performs in 14 different languages, draws audiences into her spell with her inimitable stage presence and carries quiet, melancholic sounds directly into the hearts of listeners.

"At the highest musical level, exploring all facets of musical expression, Foaie Verde sweeps listeners into an ecstatic whirl of tones and sounds that will stay with them like stored solar energy."
