Club Florestan | Foaie Verde - Balkan Folk

In the organizer's words:

The five virtuosos of Foaie Verde ("green leaf") offer musical fireworks with emotionally charged music from the Balkans. Bold rhythms and breathtaking runs on violin, accordion, guitar and double bass meet emotionally charged vocals, unbridled energy and joie de vivre, alternating with quiet, melancholy sounds. Foaie Verde thus 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.

The musicians come from four different European countries and blend Romanian folklore, fast-paced Balkan sounds and Bulgarian, Yugoslavian and Turkish melodies into an irresistible listening experience. The ensemble, led by violin virtuoso Sebastian Mare and charismatic singer Katalin Horvath, captures the pure joie de vivre of the fiery music of the Roma and the countries of south-eastern Europe in their very own, incredibly 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 double bass, the band is international and top-class. Together, Foaie Verde explore all facets of musical expression and send the audience into an ecstatic frenzy of tones and sounds with their impressive stage presence.
