Nurtured in the melancholy of the Slavic culture, the dynamic sound of Slava draws on her childhood in Budapest and Siberia, the experience of crossing the steppes of Central Asia through the confusion of a post-communist regime and finally to her life in Western Europe.
It is therefore only very recently that I have decided to write jazz songs which take their inspiration from my life, from my “ Slave †Universe. The subjects of my songs are diverse coming from the nature : the mountains or the seas such as those wild regions of Siberia where the temperature can touch -40 degrees or the sight of the Black Sea; the songs “ Steppes Horses †and “ Polar Star †recall the beautiful countryside of Russia.
My songs are really various : “ Lady Smile †is a homage to Ella, “ Mishka's Mood †was written as I reflected on the three Michel (s) who have helped to form my life as a musician.
