Balkan Music Sextet Zongora to Release First CD in April 2011

Belgian band Zongora will release an album in April 2011. They have built up a strong reputation in Brussels as a live act, on the basis of their energetic marathon concerts.

Zongora are musicians from Brussels (Belgium), Romania and Bulgaria with a mutual love for Balkan Music. But their music doesn’t stop here. Zongora love to experiment with new styles and influences. Their musical horizons are as wide as their origins and the journeys they have made: from Brussels, via Cluj to Zagreb, Sofia, Istanbul…, etc.

With the arrival of the young virtuoso clarinet player, Mladen Mladenov, the group has taken a new step and their music has become richer and even more compelling. It takes the listener from the heart of the Balkans to the Mediterranean, with a mixture of intimate melodies and lively dance music. The CD presentation will take place in Brussels on April 22.
