Roland Satterwhite - Plucked Viola, Voice (USA)
Tal Arditi - Guitar (ISR)
Kuba Gudz - Drums (PL)
Tolyqyn is a trio consisting of Kuba Gudz on drums, Tal Arditi on Guitar, and Roland Satterwhite on plucked viola and voice.
Their music has been described as a cross between blues, psychedelic rock, african kora griot traditions, sung poetry, modern dance music and jazz. Since its foundation, the band has performed for audiences in Germany, Switzerland and England, and is releasing their debut album early 2020. The cycle of creation remains a constant and unstoppable act for the trio, therefore there is always a surprise on a Tolyqyn show.
Tolyqyn ist ein Trio, das west-afrikanisch inspirierte Grooves und modern Jazz miteinander verbindet. Die Gruppe lässt Musikelemente aus Westafrika (Kora und Gnawa) einfließen, vom Delta Blues, Psychodelic Rock und Modern Jazz. Roland singt dazu seine Texte über Liebe, Politik und Tiere. Die Liedtexte stehen jedoch nicht monolithisch für sich; vielmehr sind sie eingefasst in Improvisationskünste, Grooves und in überraschenden Harmonien, die Tal oftmals einfach improvisiert. Die Musik ist durch diese ungewöhnliche Kombination von Struktur und Freiheit wirklich einzigartig.
Tal Arditi studied at the prestigious Rimon University Of Music in Israel. At the age of 17 he reached the finales at the "Israeli Jazz Player" competition. After his studies he preformed at several jazz festivals in Israel and Europe including, the "Umbria Jazz Festival," "Red Sea Jazz Festival," ''Jerusalem Jazz Festival’,’ and the "XJAZZ festival." Tal moved recently to Berlin and has quickly become one of the most sought after players in the German jazz scene. Tal has recently released his Debut album, ''Portrait''
