ZABELOV GROUP

The concert will take place on the Magnesia litera stage in cooperation with the Book Spa Festival.

The main focus of Zabelov Group's approach to music is the broad concept of jazz, fascination with rhythmic sequences and abstract vocals, experimentation and constant search for new sounds enriched by multicultural fusion. In addition to acoustic instruments, the duo uses synthesizers and various sound effects. The key musical elements are continuous spontaneity on stage and the ability to incorporate the moods of the moment into the final musical expression. The duo has been active since 2012.
