Concerts programme:
Working on this special project together with Mattia Magatelli and
Kristijan Krajncan was a journey of new discoveries, in which, declares
George Dumitru - the founder of the trio -, learned more about his
Romanian roots and family.
The voice you'll hear on the very first track is Mama-mare's (his
grandmother) speaking Romanian traditional proverbs. As trio, DUMItRIOpicked-up her rhythm and intonation and used it as building element in the playing and improvisation.
“A captivating atmosphere, informed by Romanian folk music and
buttressed by the readings of native proverbs and unstructured
improvisations.” - All About Jazz
