Denis Zabavsky: balalaika, jaw harp
Elena Zabavskaya: domra
Ljubov Korneeva: vocals

We first met Denis Zabavsky at Glinka Museum of Musical Culture. The evening was dedicated to the balalaika's music, and one of the performer was Denis together with his adorable wife Elena (playing on domra). We were really amazed by his style – emotional and soulful improvisations on balalaika shows us the new capabilities of this amazing instrument. It was a pure demonstration of virtuosity, but the music was wonderful by itself!

Denis Zabavsky is a professionally trained musician, he successfully graduated from Gnesin Academy of Music in 2005. He was a member of numerous folk-collectives, even the State Academic Ensemble “Russia”and performed live in various cities and towns of Russia and other countries, including Germany.

This recording is a compilation of tunes, composed and recorded by Denis, his wife Elena and vocalist Ljubov Korneeva – a perfect mixture of mighty traditional Russian music and an amazing virtuosity of balalaika avant-playing. We never thought, that this instrument is so great!

We can't talk about this music anymore. Grab it, and enjoy it!
We wish you a merry Xmas and happy new year! Stay with us, and be happy.
We can't stop the music...
