Igra Ensemble
Classic guitarist Dimitar Ivanov was born in Silistra, Bulgaria. Rock/jazz guitarist and composer Grégoire Monnat comes from Porrentruy, Swizerland. These two musicians together have already performed on many stages throughout Europe. Grégoire Monnat’s original compositions blend classic and electric guitars ; while the duo in concert weave a tangled, airy blend of thoughts and sentiments, places and times, moving from the universe of Kusturica films to the jazz, rock and classical influences of Western Europe, linking the traditional songs of the East to the American Surf music of the 60s. A component of their virtuosity rests in the simplicity with which all these influences harmonize, making for a sweet and captivating and unforgettable performance.
