ABOUT
La Colonie Volvox is a Macedonian band, formed in 2002, and having released five albums since: Abstractology (2006, SJF Records), Wasteland (2006, SJF Records), Europa (2009, EGoEast Records), East West And Rest (2010, EGoEast Records), and AEIOU (2012, EGoEast Records), musical journeys that shift from traditional songs and world music genres into ambient improvised jazz, and back again.
Since the release of the band’s fifth consecutive album AEIOU, La Colonie Volvox cultivates an acoustic sound, producing a new expression that brings together the melo-poetic motifs of the European legacy, Sufi music, and modern musical idioms, such as rock 'n' roll, all intertwined with the Macedonian and Balkan vocal and instrumental tradition. This resulted in an authentic ethno-global product that incorporates Macedonian, Occitan, French, Ladino, Bulgarian, Bosnian, Turkish, Greek, English, and other languages.
Love, as the essence of the troubadour song and its universal message, is the fundamental idea integrated within their music.
Currently, La Colonie Volvox is a sextet consisting of:
Sasho Gigov – Gish (vocals, percussion)
Kalina Velkovska (vocals)
Predrag Ikonomovski (acoustic guitar, vocals)
Nenad Nedelkov (tambura, vocals)
Dragan Stojkovski (tambura, ukulele, vocals)
Goce Naumov (percussion, vocals)
La Colonie Volvox has a prosperous concert experience with performances at notable international festivals and venues such as EXIT (Novi Sad, Serbia), Interzone (Novi Sad, Serbia), Bansko Jazz Festival (Bansko, Bulgaria), Venice Biennale (Venice, Italy), Balkan Ante Portas (Brussels, Belgium), Jazz Club Satchmo (Maribor, Slovenia), SEE a Paris (Paris, France), etc.
