“Strikingly original and soulful.” —The New York Times This genre-defying ensemble performs chamber-jam music for the remix generation that organically melds the classical with the new. Ljova draws on a multitude of cross-cultural influences to create a timeless collage of Old World sounds infused with Russian street music, tango, classical forms, and Gypsy melodies. Smartly modern and steeped in history, Ljova and the Kontraband give new meanings to traditions while moving them forward.
