About Me

Based in New York City, BarmaLjova is the lovechild of the vocalist INNA BARMASH and violist/composer/arranger LEV 'LJOVA' ZHURBIN. Ljova works on a multitude of musical projects - listen to his music and say hi to him here: myspace.com/ljova or visit his website at ljova.com . Inna leads the New York-based Gypsy band ROMASHKA (in which Ljova also plays), and together they stroll and frolic through life...
