Maria Korepanova, noble red-head queen, in a sound of coin necklace enters the stage. Low modulating tone of her voice simply enchants the audience. They call it psychedelic folk and Finno-Ugric overtone singing (she, indeed, uses a unique vocal technique, which is close to that). Marian “Mario” Caldararu seems to be one of those figures on wall paintings in Moldavian churches. It’s like Universe’s rhythm itself obeys him. When Maria and Marian come together, virtuoso percussionist catches and carries ancient songs of Northern Udmurts and Besermyans easily and lightly. Stefan Charisius is a German musician, teacher, and composer. His greatest passion is his Kora, Western-African harp. One can say kora defines his life, art and projects. @
