DIE BADKHONIM
Melodramas & Tales project
This group consists of 4 musicians demonstrating a full scope of stage arts.
Being performers of historically informed performance practice, we create a story that is directly connected to the music and inspired by it. Both the music and the text are performed in their historical context: the music is played with historical awareness on period instruments, and the story is made according to - and after historical events. Other than composing music for a text as done in melodramas, here the process is reversed and text is written to fit the music. In this way, the rhetorical sense both of the music and of our story is amplified. The text is at times combined with the music and at times is narrated alone, as the music at times is played with no narration. As a spectator in one of our earlier projects once said: “it’s a kind of 17th-century total theater”.

OT AZOJ

OT AZOJ plays music from Molvania, the country with the muddiest party scene in all of Eurasia. With sheep and wagon, OT AZOJ brings this exciting party to the Netherlands. Original compositions served on a bed of Balkan bop, Klezmer rumba, and Turkish grooves, topped with screaming solos and garlic liqueur. The six musicians come from the Netherlands and Bulgaria and are musically equally versatile. With conservatories training in Bulgarian, Jazz, Latin, and Classical and enormous experience in Klezmer and Balkan styles, OT AZOJ is an Amsterdam top formation. From a rough festival to an intimate concert, OT AZOJ makes it a Molvaan experience!
OT AZOJ was founded in 1994, in the current line-up the newest band member is as old as the band young. They produced ten CD's sold worldwide, made furor at festivals like Int. Gipsy Festival, Lowlands, Festival Mundial (NL), Dranouter (BE), Ashkenaz (CA), Klezfiesta (AR), and Kazimierz Dolny (PL), and performed in theaters with Klezmer fon Kishinev, ZETS!, Express Orient, and Dza Dza Drum.
