About Me

The Universal Language - music - is made up of many dialects. Bodek Janke is a master of more musical dialects than anyone I can think of and on his new CD "global.dance.kulture" Bodek tells a joyous music story by combining the world's musics in a personal and sophisticated way. Enjoy the journey.(John Riley, New York 2008)======================================================= ===MAGIC RHYTHMThe polish - born Bodek Janke is one of the most exceptional young musicians of the current Jazz and World Music scenes. Based in New York City, he is a cultural commuter between the USA, Kazakhstan, Russia, Poland and Germany.With his playing, Janke creates a new, distinctive style, merging drumset with a wild variety of instruments and drawing upon African, Indian, Eastern European and Latin American music traditions. He plays World Music with a jazz attitude and Folk Music with a contemporary language. And, above all, this “shaman’s” energetic and expressive performances and compositions captivate every audience.An event that touches you to the bone.(Stan Kelberg, New York 2006)mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://lads.myspace.com/slides/slideshow_random.swf?u=1 65687678" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="426" height="320"
