Solana’s rich and inventive sonic tapestry is anchored by a deep respect for traditions rooted in all corners of Europe and beyond. The virtuosic 5-piece weave together a multitude of instruments to take listeners on a journey from the contemplative to the euphoric and even cathartic. Formed in 2012 in Valencia, Spain, they have since found a niche in Bristol's contemporary music scene. They are renowned for a soaring originality that transcends the boundaries of any one style, taking their music towards something new and bold beyond classic folk conventions.
"... confident and mature enough to show off flashes of humour alongside the dazzling musicianship" — Songlines
"They make my spice shelf look boring" — FolkRadio
"Inventive and immaculate musicianship" — RnR
Don Kipper
Led by the formidable Greek-Serbian singer Dunja Botic and driven by an explosive rhythm section Don Kipper create a powerful sound drawing from modern electronic Romani club music and bone-deep rural folk traditions. Together, their unique sound has become both a blazing homage to the folk cultures they love, and a fresh take on global dance music.
From their beginning in 2013 Don Kipper have always been propelled by the deeply rooted music traditions of the Balkans and Mediterranean, today, they are super-charging these traditions with their own original songs, steeping their music in heavy Electronic grooves, elastic Disco Basslines and splashes of Psychedelic Synth Funk.
Their latest album pushes all these musical elements to the limit to meet the moment, a collection of politically charged, fiery original songs, a message wrapped in powerful sounds both ancient and futuristic, at once rooted in music that has moved people for generations, yet reaching for something glitteringly modern. https://eartrumpetmusic.co.uk
