Greatest hits wrapped in a soft jazz groove
Our Bossa Nova Trio was born from friendship, shared musical roots, and a love for blending traditions. What started as casual jam sessions by the campfire evolved into a project that brings together our diverse musical experiences, creating a unique and warm sound.
Though we all come from the same cultural background, our paths in music have been distinct.
🎻 Anna Shabalina (Cello, Vocals) – With classical training from renowned cellists and institutions, Anna Shabalina built a strong foundation in music. Yet, her artistic curiosity led her beyond the classical world—exploring jazz, folk, and world music. This broad musical perspective naturally led her to bossa nova, a genre where elegance meets effortless groove. You can learn more about Anna’s journey here.
🎸 Linar Rizatdin (Bass) – A versatile bassist and composer, Linar’s career began in the orchestra of a drama theatre. From there, he joined a folk-rock group, where his passion for ethnic music took root. He later founded a Tatar music project, reviving and modernizing traditional melodies by blending ancient sounds with contemporary techniques. Over the years, he has performed with African, Indian, and jazz ensembles, enriching his sound with global influences. He also formed the NaMaNa Duo alongside Anna, exploring even more musical landscapes.
🎤 Alex Maizlish (Guitar, Vocals) – With deep experience in a cappella groups and choirs, Alex’s musical foundation started with voice. Learning both guitar and piano, he developed a versatile style that allowed him to perform worldwide, embracing different traditions and genres along the way. His voice and rhythmic sensibility add a distinctive charm to our trio.
Together, we blend our instruments and voices into a sound that is light, soulful, and effortlessly warm—perfect for events that call for a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Whether performing bossa nova classics, jazz ballads, or intimate acoustic arrangements, our music invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment.
