Our label strives to support outstanding music and artists. We are committed to give more genuine talents the opportunity of getting their work released.
Kalengo world fusion is a kind of specific sounding and musical language.
The style of the band is a unique mixture of fusion jazz and world music of Mid-Eastern Europe with some influence of oriental music.
Their music expresses the implication of the archaic music-, and rhythm world into the new soundings which creates their specific atmosphere. The band’s name, KALENGO, comes from the name of kind of ancient African talking drum. This instrument had not only a superb acoustic sounding, but it was also used to convey messages.
The band members had been performed on the stages of most European Jazz Festivals. They came from all kinds of musical styles and genres but they create a unified sound with their play. A young and extremely talented singer is giving a lot to the band’s unique sound and style.
