Nubras Ensemble
A blend of southern italian and Balkan traditions
NUBRAS is a one-of-a-kind international ensemble, celebrated for its remarkable ability to blend the traditional music of Southern Italy and the Balkans with the elegance of chamber music. The project brings together musicians from Italy, Spain, Poland, and Romania, creating a sonic experience that intertwines tradition and innovation in a boundless musical dialogue.
At the heart of NUBRAS is the string trio, embodying the refinement of classical music while integrating the pulsating rhythms and melodies of the accordion and gajda — two instruments that evoke the vibrant sounds of the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. The evocative voice of Roxana, an Italian-Romanian artist of Romani origin with a long-standing collaboration with Moni Ovadia, adds depth and authenticity to the ensemble.
Completing the lineup, the alto saxophone and dynamic percussion of Giovanni Lo Cascio— a historic figure in Italian world music — bring electrifying energy and virtuosity, crafting a truly unique soundscape.
