Grzegorz Karnas Trio feat. Miklós Lukács Vanga

BMCCD209 2014

The material on Vanga is my contribution to what I hope for the future of personalized expression in singing to be. The rhythm section I chose to build this musical idiolect with consists of the artists I’ve been working with for a decade now. The participation of Miklós Lukács, whom I let into my trio’s ”marital bed” for the second time in the past three years, was again designed to be a Hungarian cherry on my Polish pie. Enjoy!

I like history. I like watching how realities change, along with empires, religions, philosophies and languages that are born and die. Baba Vanga’s ”history” looks into the future, giving an unparalleled insight into a fascinating scenario of how the world will come to an end, and this scenario is powerful enough to compete with the boldest ideas of any future studies.

The material on Vanga is my contribution to what I hope for the future of personalized expression in singing to be. The rhythm section I chose to build this musical idiolect with consists of the artists I’ve been working with for a decade now. The participation of Miklós Lukács, whom I let into my trio’s ”marital bed” for the second time in the past three years, was again designed to be a Hungarian cherry on my Polish pie. Enjoy!
