The music of LAUTARI is a modern ethno-jazz rooted in the tradition of Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe and Caucasus. Folk motifs played on piano, violin, clarinet and flutes, due to bold arrangements and a great dose of improvisation, create an original and fine music in which tradition encounters modernity. In LAUTARI’s compositions can also be heard the oriental ornaments, the subtlety of Byzantine music, the rhythms of the Balkans, and Slavic vigor.LAUTARI currently presents the music from the latest CD “AZARAN†(Samograj, 2006) which consists of author’s compositions and contemporary elaborations of traditional motifs. The programme is the result of the fascination with the Byzantine music. In that world influences from different lands - Greece, Turkey, Armenia, Romania, Serbia, and Bulgaria - all melt in one pot and various musical systems and ethos, such as traditional, ritual, dance, classic, and sacral music amalgamate into one integrity. Lautari sets out for a mythical journey and refer to the story of immemorial quest for freedom, happiness, and beauty. LAUTARI
