Nutopia

In 2004 Michael S. Krumins crushed his left ring finger in an accident, and was close to giving up his carreer as a musician. But Things changed when he heard about Django Reinhardt, the legendary gypsy guitarist who revolutionized the entire jazz scene with his music and way of playing, after he crippled his left hand in a fire.

Like Django, Michael found his companion in a violinist; Sebastian Gruchot, and with gypsy jazz in the luggage they went to Africa to find new ways to go with their music. Their meeting with african musicians and different musical traditions became the beginning of Nutopia. By using elements from the European gypsy jazz and mix it with African folk music they soon developed a universal musical language.

Together with Audun Ramo on double-bass, Michael and Sebastian went out on new adventures, and after some time they found Arild Nyborg from the group Stomp. He had already been around the world some years and added great experience trough his musical travels in India, Brazil, Turkey, Jordan, Spain and Cuba.

Nutopia gives you gypsy music, african rhythms and exotic arabic elements in a virtuous combination.
