Adhyâropa Records is releasing From the Open Place (ÂR00219), the new album by Denver-based fiddler Zoë Aqua, who plays Romanian music and klezmer. Her ensemble consists of three Transylvanian folk musicians: Gergely Réman (cimbalom), Kálmán Szopos (brácsa, the Romanian chordal viola), and Károly Dénes (bass). This is not their first joint project: their previous album, In A Sea of Stars, earned a top 5/5 rating from Songlines magazine. The band’s sound is built on unrelenting cimbalom, grinding basslines, and deep trance drones from the brácsa, and its pulsing energy appeals to fans of fiddle music of every kind, from bluegrass to old-time.
Aqua’s compositional language fuses klezmer and Yiddish song with Hungarian, Romanian, and Romani folk music — a combination unique in the world music scene. On the new album, Yiddish singer Ira Khonen Temple joins the band for the first time. She interprets Aqua’s new settings of poems by Moyshe Kulbak, which carry listeners into the pre-WWII world of Eastern European Jewry. Kulbak’s poetry is wide-ranging and surprising: a murder ballad about a bear-trainer, a serenade to the primeval forest, a surreal tale of a peasant who turns into an owl. The songs are dark and revelatory in equal measure.
The album’s title has three meanings: the vast open spaces of the American West, which the band saw on its first US tour (7 Western states); a commitment to collaborative music-making that transcends borders, nationalities, and genres; and the place of openness from which the musicians hope listeners will approach their music. In January 2027 the band heads out on a new tour covering the US East Coast and Chicago, where they will perform a featured showcase at the Folk Alliance International Conference.
