Duo Ruut is a symbiosis of two musicians with different musical tastes and backgrounds. Their ancestors’ musical heritage inspired Katariina Kivi and Ann-Lisett Rebane to sit down behind one single kannel in 2017. On the one hand it was a mere coincidence, on the other hand an outcome of many experiments and musical studies. Kannel became a sort of “blank page” for the duo, offering a lot of room for invention and finding new playing techniques. Composing together on one instrument sets pretty strict limits - which is why it turned into a challenge for Duo Ruut to let their imagination fly wild and pack their essentially minimalist music with new and exciting ideas.

Maria Mazzotta & Bruno Galeone
Italy / Madagascar
An intense and passionate reflection, from a female point of view, on the various faces of love: from the biggest love to the most desperate and very tender one, and from the type that becomes unhealthy to the one that is possessive and abusive. This is “Amoreamaro” (Bitter Love), the new album by Maria Mazzotta, one of the most emblematic musical personalities of Southern Italy.
Previously with the “Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino” band, Mazzotta has gone on to become one of the most appreciated voices on the European world music scene.
She fearlessly passes through all the emotions that love can arouse, with the song as a vehicle for catharsis, consolation, strength, and as a “cure”, which is so very typical of popular tradition
.
She is coming to Viljandi with Bruno Galeone, a talented accordionist from Madagaskar.

Marko Markovic inherited his love for music from his father, the legendary trumpet king Boban Markovic Marko and Boban have been playing together in an orchestra for years. Marko Markovic has formed Marko Markovich Brass Band on May 2016.
He is bringing his hot pipes and energetic gypsy music to the world. The Balkans are living and breathing wind instrument music – no wedding or other celebration goes by without a wind instrument orchestra. It is hard to describe, you have to experience it yourself. It is more than music, it is part of their identity, a matter of honour, their essence – it is a living and breathing part of culture. Gypsy music with its exceptionally fast tempo and unbelievably gripping energy has become one of the trademarks of the area. Their characteristic tremendous vitality comes with a marvellously Eastern melancholic soul.
It's party time in the global village.Everybody gather. And dance!
