The female duo Cukros Csirkecomb (engl. "sugared chicken leg") is musically rooted in
traditions of the Balkans and invites the audience to close the eyes and be carried away
by Hungarian ballads, Bulgarian polyphony and Armenian love songs.
Bori Malyi and Annabella Raiona are both singers and instrumentalists from different
backgrounds who met throughout their studies of Traditional Turkish Music in
the Netherlands.
Their love for creating intimate spaces through music connects them and is what makes
their performances so intimate and captivating.
The two versatile musicians accompany themselves on traditional instruments like the
koboz, violin, baglama, bendir and lavta and with their sound open doors to different
cultures and traditions.
Cukros Csirkecomb's music is a celebration of tradition and innovation, as they pay
homage to the rich musical heritage of the Balkans while infusing it with their own colors.
