Andrea Bučko to open the Sixto Rodriguez concert
The opening act of the legendary Rodriguezʼs concert next Sunday will be a talented composer, pianist, and singer Andrea Bučko, whose work is often likened to Tori Amos or Norah Jones. In 2012, she debuted with “In the middle of”, which was followed by the album “Polarity” (2015), and this spring, she released the album “Escape” that formed during her nearly two-year residence in Paris. She collaborated on this extraordinarily intimate recording with, for example, Iraqi painter and political refugee Mudi, and the album features also a duet with the singer of the famous Brazilian band Vanguart, Helio Flanders.

Andrea wrote most of the lyrics; however, you can find here also musical pieces with poems by Emily Dickinson and Guillaume Appolinaire. The songs deal with the themes of humanity, prejudice, forbidden love, the duality of “romantic” Paris, as well as the feelings of young people from the unfortunate situation in the world. Typical of Bučko, a graduate of theatrical direction at the Academy of Performing Arts, are expressive videos that combine dance, fine arts, and theatre. Andrea has performed at the Jazz fest Wien, the Mea jazz fest, the Royal Park Music Festival in Brussels, Pinoy Jam Paris, TEDx in Bratislava, the Bratislava Jazz Days, and has regularly performed in the Orphéé privé music club in Paris. She will play at Waves Vienna next Thursday and a few days later, we will see her in the Old Marketplace as a part of the only Sixto Rodriguez autumn concert in Central Europe.
