KV Express – Zafon (Home Records, 2016)
KV Express is the charming project of composer and virtuoso accordionist Sophie Cavez, a multi-faceted Belgian musician involved in many contemporary folk music projects. Zafon is a set of beautiful instrumentals (with some wordless vocals) highlighting the accordion. It’s inspired by the folk music of Belgium, Scandinavia, Ireland and Portuguese fado as well as the poetry of acclaimed Spanish writer Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
Sophie Cavez is joined by several musicians on various tracks. The lineup on Zafon includes Sophie Cavez on diatonic accordion, bass and vocals; Jo Zanders on percussion; Didier François on nyckelharpa; Julien Padovani on Rhodes electric piano; Karim Baggili on oud; Fabiola Fernandes on vocals; Grégory Jolivet on hurdy gurdy.
