Tolyqyn
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.
In 2017, he asked Kuba Gudz and Tal Arditi, two young musicians on the Berlin music scene to try his songs in a spontaneous and improvised setting. Unexpectedly, that encounter led to many more artistic endeavors for the three. Up until today, they continue to embrace the same improvisational spirit on stage, in the studio and in the rehearsal room.
Since its foundation, the band has performed for audiences in Germany, Switzerland and England, and is releasing their debut album on October 26th 2019. Thanks to all the generous backers who raised money for the project on Kickstarter (THANK YOU!!!), their phonographic debut is a carefully crafted, ambitious production created with the help of master visual artists, mixing and mastering engineers and features some of the finest guest musicians that the band could imagine to collaborate with.
The cycle of creation remains a constant and unstoppable act for the trio, therefore there is always a surprise on a Tolyqyn show. The band is currently busy refining the details of their album release, shooting conceptual music videos and simultaneously working on the material for their second album.
