The Swedish orchestra Lele Lele Orchestra, led by Mihail Dinchev, will visit Bulgaria with concerts in Sofia and Burgas, according to the organizers from “Arto plus”.
The Sofia concert is on March 19 at Sofia Live Club, and in Burgas the musicians will perform on March 17. The show is part of the first edition of the “Balkan Jam Session”.
Goran Bregovic calls the orchestra a “Scandinavian sensation”, and Mihail Dinchev – a “multi-instrumentalist who can make a show out of everything, from every style and genre”.
The group's music, made up of well-known Swedish jazz, rock and blues musicians, is based on uneven rhythms, virtuoso solos and interaction with the audience. “The concerts of Lele Lele Orchestra are not just performances, but a celebration”.
The orchestra has performed throughout Europe and works with guests from the Balkans and the Middle East. They are also the creators of the Balkan jam sessions “Aide Aide!”.
Mihail Dinchev, the creator of Lele Lele Orchestra, is a musician and pedagogue. He lives in Stockholm and is originally from Vidin. He graduated from the Academy of Music in Plovdiv and the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. His main instrument is the Bulgarian tambura.
Kai Sundquist, John Runefelt, Stian Grimstad and Moa Danielson have also been playing in Lele Lele Orchestra since 2003.
