Black Rainbow

Julija Hartig, Reineke Broekhans, Akim Moiseenkov

Format: Digital

"Black Rainbow" is a deeply personal musical journey in which violinist and singer Julija Hartig explores questions about solidarity, identity and origins. The album combines her multicultural roots - Hungarian, Czech, Slovak and Austrian - with her Yugoslav youth and weaves a story about migration and the memory of ancestors. In the title track, which she created together with Akim Moiseenkov, violin, voice and live electronics merge to make the story of three generations of female migration audible. Folk music elements, recorded voices of her ancestors and electronic textures form a sound that is both a meditation on the flow of culture and a bridge between past and present. With the music of Leoš Janáček, Fazıl Say and George Enescu, Hartig continues this exploration of roots and renewal. Janáček's folkloric sonata evokes her sense of "home", Say's modern improvisational language resonates with her Balkan background and Enescu's Romanian-inspired sonata reveals shared ancestral lines and emotional bonds. Together with pianist Reineke Broekhans, her long-time musical partner and soulmate, Hartig makes Black Rainbow more than an album - it is a reflection on the "ancestral code" that shows that the sound of our origins accompanies us everywhere.
