On July 2, a well-known Georgian singer, Nino Katamadzde, and the group Insight will present in the "Green Theatre” in Baku her new album Green.
The album was recorded in Berlin, and has become a continuation of previous albums under the names Red, Black, White.
Today’s performance will be accompanied by soloists "New Classics", including such famous musicians as Vladimir Spivakov, Yuri Bashmet, Mark Gorenstein, etc.
At today's press conference, she said that it is difficult for her to determine what style of music she performs. "I sing what comes from my soul, from the heart. I like the combination of ethno-jazz with the classics, and, I am against any clear framework and definitions," she said.
"I sing what I care about, that is, I express my feelings. How to call it - jazz, folk or something else? I do not know myself," said the singer.
Being asked about the "Eurovision" Katamadzde said that it is shallow and primitive music. "It's all very simple and primitive, but I love the depth, when there is thought, philosophy, but at this contest they show some wear, neck, why is that?"
At the same time, she said that she was not against such contest; it would be nice if along with such contest, there would be serious competitions of classical music, jazz festivals and musicians were looking for something new and interesting, rather than show business.
When asked whether she plans to use the elements of Mugam in her music, the singer said that she has already done it. "I really like how they sing, and change their voice; last time we invited your young mugam singer Revan Mamisheva, and it was great."
Answering the question on her dream, Katamadzde said that her dream is to perform "Bolero."
The concert of Nino Katamadzde has been organized by the Art Center “Buta” with the support PashaBank. -02В-

One such endeavor is the exhibition "A Different Kind of Climate," currently on display at Kapellhaus with support from the Goethe-Institut. The timing of this exhibition is no coincidence, aligning with the upcoming COP29, the UN Climate Change Conference to be held in Baku from November 11 to 22. The exhibition seeks to engage audiences on pressing ecological issues, blending local and international perspectives.
