Athina Kontou & Mother [GR/DE]

The traditional songs evolve with contemporary soundscapes and the music that emerges speaks intuitively to the audience from a very personal point of view. The core of her work is the search for the connecting elements in different cultures, as she herself is a boundary-crosser between the different musical cultures.

With her three fellow musicians Luise Volkmann saxophone, Dominik Mahnig drums and Lucas Leidinger piano she forms a colorful and lively sound. Their debut “Tzivaeri” was released in 2022 and nominated for the German Critics Award.

The concert is part of the Vänersborg’s Culture Week and arranged by Vänersborgs Musikförening and Knutpunkt in collaboration with Göteborg Art Sounds.
