Krupoves-Lozano Duo

Do Los Mis Amores! is a journey through different European traditions of folk poetry, with an emphasis on the balladistic tradition and connecting Europe from East to West. This project is a collaboration between two artists and scholars of these traditions, each specializing in the folklore of their respective countries of origin, while always looking for points of connection as expressed in the human experience. Maria Krupoves embodies Eastern Europe, singing songs in Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, Bosnian, and Belarusian that she herself has compiled in her investigations. Tomás Lozano represents Western Europe, singing in Castilian, Catalan, and French, and at times composing music for the original texts and revivifying them in the process. All songs have been artistically arranged by these two artists, whose combined backgrounds and styles yield a modern and innovative touch to these traditional songs.
