Album Description

Victoria’s music is a mixture of various influences – from the diversity of harmonies and timbres in contemporary jazz and chamber music to the poetry and groove of traditional Bulgarian chants and odd rhythms. The album “Roots &Skies” aims to balance the common and different, the local and global, "me" and "us", East and West, creating a transcultural musical identity that resonates universally. Themes of peace, inclusivity, homesickness, and the joy of travel and encounters form a coherent mosaic. The album’s title reflects Victoria’s vision of connecting her perception of Bulgarian traditional music to the "open space" of different musical impacts, with the aim to reframe these roots as living, dynamic forces within contemporary music. Each piece tells a story, transporting listeners to exotic cities, vibrant landscapes, and mystical night train journeys. The compositions evoke a sense of magical realism, featuring narratives about rebellious young women, cross-cultural encounters, and the thrill of discovery.
