“Zingaresca” is a collaboration between the celebrated guitar virtuoso Vadim Kolpakov and Oleg Timofeyev, a pioneer in the revival of the seven-string guitar. The ensemble explores the best of the Romani guitar tradition, blending the sophistication of classical music with vitality of folk musical expression. On their November 2024 Midwestern Tour, the Zingaresca musician collaborate with Alina Nazarevich, a Romani singer from Kyiv, Ukraine. Alina led her own Romani group (“RomA”) in Kyiv, but had to flee her homeland at the beginning of the Russian invasion of 2022. “Zingaresca” will offer an exciting mix of Romani, Ukrainian, and Jewish songs from Ukraine.
