Wonderband was born on the 1st of April 2010 out of a wonderful set of events and people in a Moscow club called Shanti. The name came later, but the music has always been there. Sasha was singing, Anya was playing, Vitos was drumming and Paulo was spinning tracks.
When we added a unique voice, live flute, sax, and percussion to modern electronic music we liked what we heard. And nine days later we were playing our first gig.
To steer clear from encaging ourselves into one particular style we called what we do elfusion - electronic live fusion - a blend of electronic and live music and sounds. This includes techno, minimal, deep house, ethno, jazz, funk, and everything else we like that is not possible to label with one particular style, genre or type of music.
In the next ten months we have played many times in Moscow, Kiev, London and Goa, we have been very well received and now have fans in many countries, and we have released our firs album.
The album is another story - we decided to make it outside the kind of music we play on stage. It is the first of a series of albums (by the end of the year there will be another one) with lullabies of the world in different languages. For our first album we recorded lullabies in Russian, Greek, English, Hebrew, French, and some other local dialects.
Simultaneously, we are working on several new albums for which we have selectted music not by style, but rather by mood and feeling. For now we like to experiment with mixing ethnic motives with jazz rhythms and improvisations. This will probably be the theme of our next album.
