Astatine presents Bukarest Bohème and sings the Magic of Wallachia
- Romanian Folk, Chanson, Gypsy Swing -
Close your eyes and imagine yourself wandering through the mysterious hills of Wallachia, surrounded by the enchantment of the Carpathians. From there, Astatine’s captivating voice takes us straight to the elegant salons of old Bucharest—often celebrated as the “Paris of the East.” Here, simmering Balkan swing merges with French chansons, and fiery Gypsy melodies mingle with longing tangos.
Under the motto “Le Jazz Balkanaise,” the quartet revives the vibrant sounds of the 1920s and 1930s—an era when Romania and France enjoyed a lively cultural exchange. “French chanson strongly influenced Romanian music of the 1930s,” says Astatine. “That’s why in every chanson I still hear the melancholic soul of Wallachia.”
🍴 Culinary Highlights:
Chef Leistikow will spoil you with traditional Romanian dishes, perfectly complementing the evening’s musical delights. Some of his creations are prepared in collaboration with Astatine herself, who infuses her Wallachian roots into the cuisine.
What to Expect:
- A journey through exotic soundscapes, from the rugged charm of Wallachia to the chic elegance of Bucharest.
- Authentic Gypsy rhythms, French chansons, and nostalgic tangos that captivate the audience.
