Deti Picasso is a five-piece, ethnically Armenian band from Moscow,
who describe their style as 'post modern translators of the ancient
Christian Armenian folk music'. Their brand new album 'Turbo Mairik' is a real breakthrough in the
XXIst century world music. Armenian folk tunes are combined in their
music with other influence, including experimental rock, Caucasian
chorals and contemporary world music. Hypnotic and extremely expressive
vocals from one of the most original and exotic female singers of
Armenia, absolutely unique and fresh guitar sound, Caucasian rhythm
section and a gipsy-punk altist with a legendary surname Hachaturyan –
it is the Deti Picasso with their brand new album, the time bomb called
Turbo Mayrik.
After their third release in 2006
(Glubina), they have achieved the reputation of the most original and
special live act of the ex-SU territory. They are playing
on the most important festivals and club scenes in Europe and were the
support-act of Massive Attack and Depeche Mode
during their Russian tour in 2002. They also shared stage with Goran Bregovic,
Roy Paci and Aretuska and they made very successful joint projects
f.e.with the bass player ofEinstürzende Neubauten Alexander Hacke, the
American punk-accordeonist Jason Webley (also member of the live
sessions of the Dresden Dolls), Moldavian ethno rock band Zdob si Zdub
and Hungarian funk-jazz monsters Masfe l.
