Bio

Alcalica was born in a berlin cellar in 2005 by a multi-instrumentalist (Leonidas Danezos, Gr/UK) and a singer/poet/painter (Julie Loi, D/I/B). Playful experimentation with broken beats, sounds of every day life, melodies that are swiming in the Mediterranean and lyrics in 5 languages.
Live hardware electronics, Persian santoor, African calimba, Greek baglamas, Greek Juras, deep vocals create a lush emotional rhythmic music experience. Performs only original compositions.
Alcalica travels regularly between Berlin and Mytilini on various musical routes, has played at festivals (Fusion, Aurora, Portello river, Reclaim the beach) and remote places (Vrbovec, Lódz, Kozani).
5 EP vinyl releases.
