Zulya Kamalova brings her beautiful and haunting gypsy sound with unusual instrumentation to Riverside Theatres on Thursday April 15 at 7.30pm. Kamalova presents a unique and versatile Tartarstan sound, distinctly Russian song writing and the extraordinary musicianship of the band, Children of the Underground.

Zulya and the Children of the Underground are Australian-based and this special performance is one of only two Sydney shows as part of a tour that takes Kamalova and her band around Australia. The adventurous music is melancholic and dramatic. The sound is in a similar vein to other popular gypsy-sounding bands such as Australia’s Monsieur Camembert, Michaelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen and weaves through a combination of musical styles.

Zulya Kamalova, originally from Tatarstan in central Russia is the leading proponent of Tatar and Russian music in Australia as well as one of the most versatile and accomplished vocalists on the world music scene today. She is familiar to audiences throughout Australia as a performer of traditional and original music derived from her Tatar and Russian cultural roots. Kamalova has developed a totally original approach as an affirmation of her unique identity – an affirmation that takes her Tatar and Russian background to totally new places and in completely new ways with a highly developed sense of melody, rhythm and texture. In 2001, Kamalova was awarded Female Artist of the Year 2001 by Australian World Music Awards and in 2002 the Best Live World Music Artist by Australian Live Music Awards.
