Our new album, “Tej 6.7,” will be released on June 10th!

Friends!
We’re excited to share some great news!
Our new album, “Tej 6.7,” will be released on June 10th.
It will be available on numerous digital platforms, as well as on CD.
The new album is the result of two years of exploring the possibilities of a guitar quartet (with the help of Vladimir Ryabinin). It features a wealth of ethnic music, guitar riffs, and cosmic sounds, as well as the incredibly valuable contribution of virtuoso accordionist Alexander Koryukovets.

The artwork is based on the paintings of the amazing Astrakhan artist Elena Kosareva.

Memories of Sada – Live at Tuneyadets

 
This recording features Ángel Ontalva and the core of Vespero (Alexander Kuzovlev on guitar, Ark Fedotov on bass, and Ivan Fedotov on drums) live at Tuneyadets Hall in Astrakhan on May 17, 2025, just a couple of weeks ago, performing compositions from the two studio albums Ángel and Vespero made together, Carta Marina and Sada, celebrating the beginnings of an extensive collaboration dating back more than eight years. They are raw, direct, and powerful versions, without embellishments, going to the heart of the compositions. I hope you enjoy it. / Ángel Ontalva

New release featuring Vespero

In 1246, Giovanni da Pian del Carpine was the first Italian to reach Saraj Batu, just north of the mouth of the Volga, where he met the Mongol leader Batu Khan. Travelling overland 4915 kilometres, 777 years later, Dario Lo Cicero and Mila Di Addario arrive in nearby Astrakhan, for the easternmost leg of their long journey. There they meet with three musicians from the band Vespero, for an improvisation session. The musical understanding was beyond their expectations, and here is released the recording of that day. 

“De Ludo Globi” is out!

TODAY!!
Our new album “De Ludo Globi” is out!

It is inspired by the work of Nicholas of Cusa. Two long pieces of music take all the best that we can create. This time Alexey Klabukov composed special arrangements for woodwinds and Alexey Esin filled everyting with beautiful flutes and saxophones. This is the most colorful music that we ever did!
Alexander Ov-Lebedev created fantastic monochome photos for cover and than shot a 12-minutes abstract film with his own vision of our music and concept.

Last July we played a set at “Insomnia” festival

Last July we played a set at “Insomnia” festival, the place where there was a deep fog in the morning and thus, around us there was something magical. We played some old stuff and 3 totally new compositions that will not be available on our albums until next year :))
Big thanks to Arsen Stepanyan, who did a really fantastic sound and a multi track from this set.
Mixed and mastered by Alexander Kuzovlev.
