about

Ruslan Px and FunCOOLio plays Bossa-Nova is the new album by the Estonian composer Ruslan Px and the Latvian instrumental band FunCOOLio. A distinctive feature of the album is the original presentation of the material, the Baltic traditional melody flavor, unusual structure of the compositions, as well as the use of the folk instrument - balalaika. The recording captures the bright and sunny atmosphere of Jurmala, the most well-known seaside resort in Latvia. No wonder that all musical pieces in the album are named as Jurmala's railway stations (Lielupe, Bulduri, Dzintari, etc.), inviting a listener to a musical journey by train. The silhouette of the legendary Jurmala restaurant «Juras Perle» is recognizable on the album cover.
FunCOOLio band members and Ruslan are good friends more than 17 years, but this album is their first full-fledged collaboration. Ruslan owns the initial idea of ​​recording new compositions in bossa nova style, as well as he is the author of 8 tracks on the album. The Asari ballad is created in cooperation with Deniss Gradalevs.The closing piece Vaivari is written by George Panfilov. All arrangements are made by Ruslan and FunCOOLio.
