Antoli & Todorovski Duo
Serbian accordionist Miloš Todorovski and Catalan clarinetist Oscar Antolí continue their musical journey of discovery with their second album. The duo already attracted attention with their debut album “Folkotèque” – now the two musicians are opening up their sound world even further and shedding new light on familiar traditions.

The influences on the tracks on this new album span a wide musical spectrum: from archaic melodies from Epirus and the pulsating rhythms of the Balkans to the melodious dances of the Iberian Peninsula and Argentine tangos. All the compositions are original works inspired by these influences and enriched with new rhythmic elements and harmonic colors. Antolí and Todorovski weave Latin American nuances with elements of jazz harmony and improvisational freedom.

The result is music that transcends boundaries and brings the diversity of Europe to life in all its vibrancy—sometimes melancholic, sometimes full of energy, but always carried by the joy of two musicians who combine their different cultural roots into a shared, unique musical language.

Ajde Orchestra!
The name Ajde (pronounced “Aide”) is a universal exclamation in the Balkans and means something like “Let's go!” or “Come on!” – the perfect invitation to get carried away by the music. The Ajde Orchestra! presents an electrifying repertoire of original compositions and selected songs from the Balkans and the Mediterranean region.
At the center is the charismatic Greek singer Alexia Chrysomalli. With her powerful voice, she is the emotional anchor of the band, combining the fiery passion of her roots with the melancholic depth of the Orient.

The international heart of the orchestra: the virtuosos
The musical “family” of the Ajde Orchestra! brings together five masters of their craft: Serbian accordion virtuoso Miloš Todorovski is the emotional engine that ignites the fire and melancholy of the Balkans. Oscar Antoli from Catalonia is the storyteller on clarinet and kaval (shepherd's flute), who lets the soul of the Balkans breathe. Slovenian double bassist Marko Ferlan provides the foundation and earthy groove as an unshakeable rock. And Amir Wahba, a percussionist with Austrian and Egyptian roots, is the heartbeat that ignites the rhythmic fireworks between the Nile and the Danube.

Together, these musicians take us on a thrilling musical journey that transcends boundaries. They blend the fiery energy of the Balkans with the melancholic depth of the Mediterranean to create a unique musical experience. Ajde!
