Black Sea! Kommuna Lux brings you the&nbsp;heritage music of their beloved
hometown.&nbsp;Klezmer, Balkan, and Urban Chanson, with a&nbsp;dash of Ukrainian Folk and powered by rocket&nbsp;fuel, Kommuna Lux impacts the
crowd with a&nbsp;nostalgic, high-energy Big Band sound from the&nbsp;bygone days of speakeasies
and rum runners.&nbsp;When Volodymyr Gitin raises that clarinet to&nbsp;his lips, he becomes the only
man in the room—&nbsp;you can’t help but utterly fall into his virtuoso arms. “Heavyweight Champion”
Oleg&nbsp;Vasianovich holds his accordion like it’s light as a feather, while
he develops the&nbsp;foundation of each melody. Layers of complexity are added
by the bold, bright&nbsp;trumpet of Andrei Okhramovich and the sassy, playful
trombone of Yaroslav Besh.&nbsp;Viktor Kirilov never stops dancing as he plays
his acoustic guitar, and you never&nbsp;know when Sergei Poltorak will pause on
the percussion to punk the rest of the&nbsp;band with a sly prank. At center
stage is sultry powerhouse Bagrat Tsurkan, whose&nbsp;hot buttered voice and
nonstop energy compel everyone to the dance floor.&nbsp;These
conservatory-trained&nbsp;musicians started out&nbsp;playing flash mobs in the&nbsp;markets, piers, and streets&nbsp;of Odesa, and
quickly moved&nbsp;up to local and national&nbsp;stages. After
winning&nbsp;Germany’s “Iron Eversteiner”&nbsp;prize for folk music,
they&nbsp;began touring the world, but&nbsp;had a falling-out with
their&nbsp;vocalist. They soon&nbsp;discovered “Baggi” singing&nbsp;background
for another&nbsp;band, and knew they’d found the perfect front man.&nbsp;When
Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the band went into shock along with&nbsp;the
rest of their countrymen. One musician even left to join the army. But
the&nbsp;others soon decided that they could do more good with their
instruments than guns,&nbsp;and began touring Europe in earnest to raise money and support for Ukraine.
They&nbsp;raised thousands of dollars that summer, and became the “go to band”
for Klezmer&nbsp;music in both Germany and Poland. Their first USA tour in Fall
2023 was so&nbsp;successful, they founded a 501-c3 nonprofit to make it even
easier to support&nbsp;Ukraine.&nbsp;People don’t just listen to Kommuna Lux.
They fall in love! No one can resist&nbsp;these playful, passionate Ukrainian
musicians, who have so much fun on stage that&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">you get caught up in their joy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><br></span></p><div class="9KvCzzvC protected" data-type="photo" isdelete="true" type="photo" contenteditable="false" style="position: relative;"><div class="InsertPicture__StyledVideoContainer-sc-dxbihh-3 jVYqcF wrapper-insert-image"><img class="InsertPicture__StyledImg-sc-dxbihh-1 dTulIB" src="https://eventcartel.com/media/cache/94/38/94388dc53aaf2051074cad064724d3af.jpg"></div></div><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><style>
