Leléka - Live 2027

Description

The band Leléka, founded in Berlin in 2016 (Ukrainian for "Stork"), is a young, multicultural quartet led by Ukrainian singer Viktoria, whose voice shapes the character and atmosphere of the band's music. The sound world of the band, ranging from dynamically grooving passages to delicate folk ballad tones, is framed in a contemporary jazz language that the quartet has developed into a diverse concept. This blend of jazz and Ukrainian folk music has earned Leléka numerous awards, including the creole Berlin world music competition and the European Young Jazz Award Burghausen 2018. Additionally, the band was nominated in 2022 for the German Jazz Award in the category "Band of the Year." The increased interest in Ukrainian culture since the outbreak of the war against Ukraine has made Viktoria & her band one of the most important musical ambassadors of their homeland. Their concerts are not only experiences of innovative reinterpretations of old, mostly forgotten Ukrainian folk songs, but also a strong sign of solidarity for the right of Ukrainian culture to exist. Highlights of the band's history include performances at festivals such as ELBJAZZ (Hamburg), Jazz & the City (Salzburg), Bardentreffen (Nuremberg), and Rudolstadt Festival. Victoria Leleka - Vocals, Povel Widestand - Piano, Thomas Kolarczyk - Double Bass, Jakob Hegner - Drums
