Tamara Lukasheva & Matthias Schriefl „MATRIA VOL. TWO“ – OUT NOW

Alpine folklore, Ukrainian song artistry, jazz, and a healthy dose of humor—on Matria, worlds collide and merge into music that is as virtuosic as it is playful, full of surprises. Odessa-born singer Tamara Lukasheva and Allgäu-based multi-instrumentalist Matthias Schriefl are masters at blurring boundaries and sparking creativity from cultural differences.

Whether in the Cuban-inspired “Halb 4 Mambo,” the touching ‘Home’ based on a poem by Ukrainian poet Vasyl Stus, or the loving homage “Kyjiw-Lied” – every piece on “Matria” tells of musical curiosity, deep emotionality, and a shared joy of playing. Between tongue-in-cheek yodeling funk and poetic folklore, a sound cosmos emerges that is both touching and inspiring.

An album that shows how familiar two people can become in the diversity of their cultures—and how something truly new can emerge from this encounter.

Listen now and embark on an adventurous, colorful, and soulful musical journey!
