KIBITKA

Kibitka comes from different countries and latitudes. It travelled along roads from Moscow to Cuba's Santa Clara, and it was born in Lugo under the name of Nmada in the first years of the new millenium.

Shared journeys, music and locales brought about chance meetings between these eight musicians with their extensive experience and eclectic backgrounds. In time these meetings crystallized in a communal project: to talk about sounds on the move, destroy distances and reveal affinities between universes that we had believed to be far apart and opposed to each other.

Developing the repertoire and Kibitka's own idea of music was a deep-reaching process, lengthy and slowly matured. During this time the group gradually consolidated, its repertoire grew, it gave its first concerts, and in 2008 Kibitka undertook the recording and production of its first CD: IDA HAAO. For this early work Kibitka brought together a complete art team: lighting, set design, graphic design, wardrobe, texts, movement and sound. With this integrated concept of a stage product Kibitka took up artistic residence in Sala Nasa at Santiago de Compostela and there it performed its first concert spectacle in April 2009.

At the moment Kibitka is working on its second CD.
