BGKO - DEL EBRO AL DANUBIO (2016) CD
(ENG) The sound of BGKO belongs to a world of experimentation and continuous evolution. It is born of an urge to share and make music through improvisation and musical encounters. It is latched to a variety of aromas thanks to the exploration of innumerable musical traditions that inspire us and to which we add our personal touch based on the multi-frenetic and eclectic world of modern music that we are so immersed in.
This is the essence of “Del Ebro al Danubio”, a mature album compiled after intense coexistence, lots of live shows, endless jam sessions and musical exchanges. 12 songs – almost an hour of music – each one blessed with a completely unique and idiosyncratic sonic atmosphere compared to the rest – an evocative journey through the Balkans, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
We presented it at Sala Apolo the 5th October of 2016.

(ESP) "Del Ebro al Danubio" nace fruto de la sinergia entre la experiencia del ya consolidado septeto BGKO y la inspirada colaboración de David Pastor a la trompeta, Yannis Papaioanou al oud, Dani Carbonell al clarinete, Ivan Ilic a la guitarra.
La madurez que ofrece el nuevo disco ondea entre una amalgama de sorprendentes atmósferas sonoras muy diferenciadas entre ellas: canciones gitanas rumanas, rusas y serbias; purificadoras danzas húngaras, transilvanas, klezmer y albansesas; melodias contemplativas de la tradición catalana, árabe-libanés, judía y del sevdah bosnio... Todas ellas evocan la voluntad de ofrecer un puente para acercar riquezas culturales diferentes, tal como el título del álbum expresa.
La presentación tuvo lugar en la Sala Apolo el 5 de octubre de 2016.
