Acoustic Caravan

Nomen est omen!
The trio sees itself as an ambassador of acoustic world music beyond the usual genre boundaries. Their playing combines elements of French valse musette, jazz, Brazilian samba and bossa nova, the melancholy bandoneon sounds of Astor Piazzolla and the rhythmic richness of the Balkans to create a multi-layered sound. Despite this diversity, the three musicians always retain an unmistakable signature: Their arrangements never seem collage-like, but develop with a natural flow and personal expression.

Vladislav Cojocaru (accordion), Vlado Grizelj (guitar) and Giorgi Makhoshvili (bass) come from Moldova, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Georgia. Their origins shape the tone of the music: south-eastern European esprit, Caucasian ornamentation and melodic finesse permeate the playing.

The pieces written by the ensemble members tell of independence, joie de vivre and inner flexibility. At times delicate and bold, then again effervescent and full of emotion - the sound spectrum is wide. The trio has been delighting audiences with their energetic presence and musical finesse at live performances for several years.
