Olexa Kabanov: Strings slowly plucked from the soul.

Olexa Kabanov is a gifted composer and multi talentented musician, primarily known as a master performer and music in its authentic form. He is a member of the creative association "kobzar shop" and conducts the performers who play traditional musical folk instruments.

Olexa masterfully performs music on instruments of various cultures. He collects and independently produces the rare and antique musical instruments (dulcimer, wheel lyre, Santoor, tanbur). Another area of creative activity is the development of the Kabanova musical culture of the East.

He has different styles of playing instruments such as sitar, sarod, Santoor, Rubab, and tanbur. Olexa not only reconstructs the original compositions, but also finds new connections between the cultures of East and West, as well as creating new trends in music.
