ABOUT
Ethno-Jazz Band Outhentic was formed in 2012. It was founded by Zhivko Vasilev (kaval, piano) and Rayna Vasileva (vocal, percussion) along with their first guitarist Viktor Dzhorgov. Since 2018, Borislav Iliev (guitar) and Stoil Ivanov (drums) have become part of the band.
Outhentic is a combination of the words "out" and "authentic," which means "out of the authentic" and is a reference to their individual style.
In 2016, the band released their first self-penned album, in which guest performers from all over the world participated. The album is titled "YesToday," and in 2019 they released their second album, "Transparent."
In the process of establishing their style, the band has had the opportunity to collaborate with extraordinary world-famous musicians and bands such as the Grammy-nominated bassist Juan Garcia-Herreros, Stoyan Yankoulov, Ian Stevenson, Suchet Malhotra, Banda Del Padre, etc. In the band's biography, there are performances on various Bulgarian and international stages: performance in the twelfth edition of the European Museum Night 2016 (Sliven, Bulgaria), Mini Jazz Fest 2017 (Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria), Glastonbury Festival 2017 (England), Jazz Forum Stara Zagora 2018, etc.
At the beginning of 2018, the members of Outhentic Band – Zhivko and Rayna – established an independent organization for the public benefit called Outhentic Foundation. The foundation aims to preserve, distribute, and promote Bulgarian folklore and traditions in Bulgaria and beyond.
