..WAV - Balkan Surf Jazz http://www.wavintl.com
..WAV is a Boston band known for it’s feverish blend of
Balkan folk music, blazing jazz-chops, and sixties
surf-band sensibilities, amped up and pitched forth at
an unforgettable rock-rave intensity. The ensemble is
lead by Bulgarian marimba virtuoso Vessela Stoyanova
and composer/guitarist Troy Kidwell. It features
multiple percussionists, scorching violin,
middle-eastern vocals and has members hailing from
Japan, Switzerland, Lebanon, and Greece.
In 2001 .WAV was a featured act at the Festival of
Bulgarian Culture in Toronto. It was there that the
band first performed with Yanka Rupkina of “The
Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices” and formed a creative
bond, which has lead to a series of unforgettable live
collaborations, the next one of which is coming up in
June 2003.
