about

SAM SHALABI: «Music – instrumental music in particular – can speak when words, argument and polemics fail. Doing this music in the context of Artists Against Apartheid is a way to speak directly to the heart, mind and soul of the plight, culture experience and aspirations of subjugated people. Artists Against Apartheid is a context and space to speak in this way – to allow music the freedom of a deeper speech that words and people often can't articulate or can't and sometimes don't want to hear – music is a faster than light way to communicate humanity directly to and for anyone with a heart and mind open enough to hearing it. For me, AAA has always been a place where that can happen.»

I just spent two weeks in Sofia, and they were the most memorable in my life. The music by Stefan Christoff seems to catch the atmosphere I felt when being in this wonderful city - I'm glad to have found this magic music by a great piano player. And so I can warmly recommend these pieces to anyone who loves Sofia/Bulgaria and Keith Jarrett, come to think of. Nicolas
