Most of the songs are based on Bulgarian folk traditions, with one Serbian exception (&#8216;Ayde Yano&#8217;). Particularly noteworthy are Viktoria Lasaroff&#8217;s versatile voice and Andreas Brunn&#8217;s guitar, which effortlessly combines Balkan rhythms with influences from Cuba and Brazil and breathes new life into Bulgarian folk music.

Viktoria Lasaroff&#8217;s charismatic interpretations meet the emotionally charged, virtuoso playing of the ensemble under the joint direction of Andreas Brunn.

Viktoria Lasaroff used the short distance between the band and the audience in the library to enter into a dialogue with the audience.

The pairing of guitar (Andreas Brunn) and double bass (Horst Nonnemacher) starts with a slow and relaxed, yet incredibly pronounced melody. Throughout the rest of the songs, you could be forgiven for thinking that there was another drum kit in the room, such was the precision of the rhythmic changes performed by the three musicians, who were in perfect harmony with each other.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Viktoria Lasaroff summarized her lyrics in German with the captivating intonation of an oriental storyteller. The vocals then unfolded softly and richly. Then, in a gypsy song popular throughout the Balkans, she suddenly stepped away from the microphone and repeated the verse with the power and emotion of an opera diva overcome with grief: a successful surprise. The return to soft, deeply murmuring vocals immediately seemed to suspend all sense of time. Andreas Brunn&#8217;s guitar also occasionally left the realms of folk behind and strayed into jazzy variations, but these were woven in so sensitively that the cohesion of this world music was always preserved. &#8211; Andreas Frey<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2626\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2626\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Lippische Landeszeitung<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2626\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2626\"><p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Love of life in music &#8211; BalkaNova rocks the &#8220;bridge&#8221; in H\u00f6rste<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">At the end everyone applauded.

The listeners on the \u201cbridge\u201d had just enjoyed the musical hike from Balka Nova between folk, jazz and classical music to the full.

In addition, Viktoria Lasaroff unfolded the registers of her timbre-rich mezzo-soprano as varied as it was coherent in order to sing of the theme that moves the hearts of people in all peoples the most: love. And love as a celebration of joy and tangible vitality. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><em><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">&#8211; Andreas Schwabe<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2627\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2627\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Thuringian regional newspaper<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2627\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2627\"><p><strong><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Southeast European impressions<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Viktoria Lasaroff dominated the stage with her strong, dark voice as well as the intensity of her singing.
