Kolpakov Trio and Eugene Hütz BIO:

Sasha (Aleksandr) Kolpakov, the group's director, was born in 1943 in the district of Orienburg in Eastern Russia. Born to a musical family, he began playing the Russian seven-string guitar as a young boy and throughout his long performing career developed his own, unique style on this instrument. From the early 1960s he has lived in Moscow, working with a number of Russian-Roma ensembles. Mr. Kolpakov has been the Musical Director and the Lead Guitarist of Moscow’s Romen Theater since 1977. In addition to his superb skills on the Russian guitar, he is also a popular composer and an extremely charismatic vocalist. The Opre organization in Zurich, Switzerland, produced the Kolpakov Trio's first CD, "Rodava Tut " (“I Look For You”). His second album came out in Russia under the title “Sing, Gypsy!” Alexandr Kolpakov has toured in many European and Asian countries, as well as North America.

His nephew Vadim Kolpakov mastered the Russian seven-string guitar, the vocal style and dance tradition of Russian Roma (Gypsy) music at an early age and is from the Saratov region of Russia. In 1995 he moved to Moscow to train with his uncle. He has toured internationally and recorded with the Kolpakov Trio, and in addition sings, dances and plays the guitar in his own group Via Romen, which he founded in the United States.

Ludmila Kolpakova, daughter of Alexander Kolpakov has toured in France, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Austria, and the US. Ms. Kolpakova began to sing and dance on professional stage at the age of 5. She worked in Moscow’s Romen Theater from the age of 15. Today, she is highly in demand in the contemporary Moscow Gypsy scene as a dancer and singer.
