Opera Libera Duo

Erik Zielinski & Christian Libert

 

ERIK ZIELINSKI Erik Zielinski (born in 1980 in Kyiv, Ukraine) knew from his very childhood, that his life would be connected to music and arts. After graduating from Lysenko Music School in Kyiv in 1997 (string instruments department), he starts a journey to Western European countries to learn Medieval church music. Upon return, he enters the Choir department of Glier Institute of Music in Kyiv in 2000. At the same time, he starts writing songs, mostly inspired by Fantasy literature, such as J.R.R. Tolkien and others. In 2006, he moves to Moscow which at that time was a center of ‘underground’ music and there, participates in in various concerts and festivals. He continues to write songs and also, 2 musicals (based upon Fantasy works). There, he meets Chris Libert, a singer (soprano) and artist, who becomes his partner in life and music. After Russian invasion of a part of Ukraine in 2014, they both move to Kyiv, and in 2017, start learning opera singing – first, as amateurs, and then, on professional level. At the very beginning, Erik thought to have a countertenor, the highest man’s voice (usually called man’s soprano, or man’s alto, depending on the range). Maybe because he was so fascinated with his namesake Erik Kurmangaliev, a famous sweet-voiced countertenor from Kazakhstan. So, he studied first two years as a countertenor, and then, with a help of a teacher Elena Cornelisse-Syssojeva from the Netherlands, has rediscovered his voice to be a strong tenor which combines in itself both lyric and heroic qualities (jugendlicher Heldentenor). After a full-scale Russian invasion, Erik and Chris found their refuge in Sweden. Here in Lund, they participate in many various events, mostly related to opera and classical music. This May, Erik is going to perform as Don José in “Carmen. A story of one passion”, an adaptation of “Carmen” by G. Bizet, which will take place in Lund, Stenkrossen theater, on May 15th and 18th.

 

CHRIS LIBERT Chris Libert (non-binary, born in the Far East in a mixed Ukrainian-Russian family) had a longtime dream to be a dramatic actor but never thought of singing before the age of 25. Meeting Erik Zielinski was life-changing and a real gift of God! First, they sang songs written by Erik, and songs from old movies. Then, already in Kyiv, they started learning opera singing with a private voice teacher. Voice students often experience difficulties with determining a proper voice type. So happened to Chris also. A rich, deep and wide mezzo-soprano-like lower register, and at the same time, truly ‘sopranoish’ brightness of color, powerful high notes, and extreme agility! So, what it could be? A soprano or a mezzo-soprano? Thanks to a high-qualified voice teacher Elena Cornelisse-Syssojeva who was able to discover Chris’s voice as a wide-range dramatic soprano. In XIX century, such voices were especially valued by most famous opera composers such as V. Bellini, G. Donizetti, G. Verdi, G. Meyerbeer, R. Wagner, etc. The most demanding parts of operatic heroines with strong personality, and often a complex fate, are written for this voice type. Apart from soprano parts, Chris is able to sing mezzosoprano and even contralto parts. This Spring, Chris will make a debut in the traditionally mezzo-soprano part of Carmen in “Carmen. A story of one passion”, an adaptation of “Carmen” by G. Bizet, which will take place in Lund, Stenkrossen theater, on May 15th and 18th. Apart from opera, Chris is great in visual arts. Their pictures are notable for subtle elaboration of the details and mystic vision of the world.

Gitte Pålsson

 

Hi!

I am a singer, songwriter and musician. Runs my own record company. As a trained rhythm teacher and music therapist, I have freelanced as an artist for more than 30 years in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Peru and Bolivia. During the 80's I worked as a volunteer in Bolivia for the association Swallows and therefore the Bolivian music and its people are close to my heart.

 

For many years I have written my own songs, but it was only when I turned 40 that I started to take my own material seriously. I then decided to make a dream come true - to release my own songs on CD. I had no idea how it would go. In addition, I lacked financial resources and all record companies that were contacted said no. When it became too many NO, NO, NO. Then I thought "If no one wants to release my music, I'll start a record company myself". And in that way it is ...

Julián Benavides

 

Hi!

My name is Julián Benavides, musician, producer, composer and songwriter from Colombia.  

 

In 2007 I created the band Irissintética, a project that was born from the experimentation with electronic and electrical media as a source of sound production and editing.  This music is strongly influenced by music from around the world, both of the academic and of the popular prospects. 

 

I am currently pursuing a master's degree in cultural studies, "critical studies in the humanities" at the University of Malmö in Sweden.

 

I am very excited to be part of this beautiful community of world musicians to be able to show my material, create new contacts and why not try to make music together. 

 

Regards Julián.

Emira Velic Sundkvist

 

Hi!

My name is Emira Velic Sundkvist.  I am a 55 year old woman who originally comes from Bosnia and I am living in Malmö, Sweden.  My passion is, among other, music, theater and issues relating to Womens rights. 

 

In Bosnia, I completed my training as a translator into French, Russian and Latin.  This led to that I quickly completed the interpreter training at Medborgarskolan in Sweden and I am working as an interpreter since many years.  In addition, I wanted to work in the psycho-social area, that is why I finished my vocational training as a Social educator and treatment assistant in Söderköping, Sweden.  

 

Since 1993 until now I've been working in various women's associations in Malmö as Integration, culture and information manager, study circle leader for children and teacher in mother tongue.  

 

In 2007 I grunded the organisation IFT, "International Folkbildnings Teatern for women".  With the help of culture, music and theater we support women due to various traumas they have been through because of wars.  

 

I wrote and directed three theater plays about integration.  The play "undocumented"(2006) is about vulnerable women who were waiting for a residence permit and their stories that became a book.  The play "Sorrow meets joy" (2010) was presented and very well received by different associations in Malmö such as: Macedonian, Albanian and Russian associations, and the play "Women´s Journey in Stories" where a series of poems and songs were developed in 2011.   I wrote and translated my collection of poems "Hodaci cestama", which was converted later into a musical for children.  It has the pedagogical proposal to learn easy and playfully the Swedish language.  

Today I write music for international female artists and I am working on my first Album. I want to inspire women to live life with joy, passion and hope.

 

Regards Emira!

Musikinspelning

 

Hi everyone! 

We are Florencia and Fiorela Gallay González, we are 15 and 16 years old.  We are from the town of Los Cóndores, Córdoba, Argentina.   And we are a duo of Argentine folklore (While we love all genres and styles of music and sing a bit of everything, we love to sing folklore).

 

We always liked to sing since we were  4 years old.  We always did it as a family, as a hobby. The first time we sang on stage was when we were 11 and 12 years old in a "Peña" at our school Dr. Abraham Molina Institute (IDAM).

 

When we sang there, the people of our town liked it a lot and we received many congratulations, many affections.  It was unforgettable!   Later, when other people got to know us, we started singing in the other schools.   And then in the areas of the province of Córdoba. 

 

Then we had the great pleasure of singing at Villa General Yacanto. Where we sing the Argentine national anthem, one of the most important songs in Argentina, which represent us as a country. It was a real pride to be able to do it.  Later, we participated in a contest in the town of La Cruz where we won and we were awarded with singing on the main stage of the same town. (It was an extraordinary night).

 

We LOVE THE ART IN ALL ASPECTS.! We love to sing, act, dance, play instruments, and compose songs.  For us, music is like breathing, we wouldn't imagine not doing it.

 

We are really very grateful to everyone who makes all this possible, people and their beautiful comments, the positive vibes and all the love and affection they give us to continue growing, progressing and forming us on this long and beautiful path.   And of course very grateful for all the support, affection and love that our family gives us.

 

REGARDS Floriencia & Fiorela.

Javier Manik

Javier Manik.  

The people I meet on the streets all over the world, they write my songs. Their stories are my lyrics”, says Javier Manik. The singer and songwriter was born in Asuncion (Paraguay), grew up in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and experienced very early in life that it takes more than money to be happy and content.


He spent his childhood and youth in the ghettos of Buenos Aires with a mother who was only 15 years old when Javier was born not knowing who is father was. “It was a tough life but I was a happy boy”, the 42-year-old looks back on this time. In those days music was already a very important part of his life: “I always loved to sing to express myself. I never went to a music school and I didn’t know much about technique, but I felt the music and I played with all my heart.”


Javiers musical influences spread from the Latin American rhythms of Cumbia, to Rock, Reggae and the Ethno-punk of bands like Mano Negra.


Javier’s outlook on life is greatly influenced by the culture of the ancient Mayans and he feels that our consumerist approach to life makes us lose respect for the simple things, for other people and for nature itself. But these are the important things if we want to survive and that’s the message in Javier’s songs. As much as life is about earning enough to pay for rent and food, it shouldn’t just be about growing richer and richer. It is about cherishing the moment – in a glance, a conversation, a poem or a song.


Whilst striving to take his music to a next level – from the streets into the studio, onto the radio and into peoples hearts and homes, Javiers philosophy remains the same: “I want my songs to be the voice of the people on the street.” Javier’s message is one of hope and optimism – offering an alternative to our life of global consumerism. No matter where in the world you live “the people on the streets don’t worry about tomorrow, because their life today is hard enough.”

Mao Zybamba

MAO ZYBAMBA. Born in 1980 in Burkina Faso, where he grew up in the countryside.

Mao offers a world musical journey with songs, songs and stories from Sweden to Burkina Faso.


Already as a child he had a great interest in old stories and stories from different parts of his society. He took time to approach the elderly around Burkina and Mali. In 1999, he moved to the capital Ouagadougou, to continue his studies but also the cultural life he began. In 2003, he began working professionally as a "cultural worker".


Mao Zybamba has traveled to a dozen countries, from Africa to Europe, and shared his knowledge and skills. He is an actor, writes plays, poetry, musical songs, and tells tales that he collects from different sources. He has quoted a saying: Veux- tu garder un trésor pour longtemps? Confisque-le des vieux! ("Do you want to preserve a treasure through the ages? Seize it from the ancients!")

He plays African folk music, Swedish folk music - built his own key harp in Eslöv in 2012 with Jan Erik Widerberg and is a member of the harp poliers in Eslöv! - and sings in moore (his mother tongue), French (the official language of Burkina) and Swedish.

He has developed a concept which in French is called contes initiatiques, i.e. that he uses his African oral storytelling as a tool to demonstrate, explain, guide or discuss the modern world.


Yes, Mao Zybamba has a great commitment to children and youth development by offering them learning and meaningful fairy tales, theater and music, including in Burkina Faso Sweden.

In Burkina Faso and France, he did in collaboration with schools, libraries in collaboration with the municipalities the projects where he let children and young people listen and reflect the times now. They then developed work through a task with the meaning of helping them as future leaders to start thinking about how they can contribute to the local and international well-being.

Mao Zybamba is a storyteller from the ground up and has already developed his concept, which is a real tool for demonstrating, explaining, guiding or discussing the modern world.


Now ten years Mao Zybamba lives in Sweden and is developing in the Swedish language then he became ready to continue his concept in Sweden.

Mao Zybamba begins with his first performance in 2003 in French and was played dozens of times in French-speaking countries.

It is a musical tale called The Unexpected Guests.

It is about 3 inseparable friends visiting a family. Wealth, Love and Power are the main actors.

The guests invited the family to choose one of the main actors to be one of their family members.

In this performance, Mao Zybamba questions what social and cultural integration should look like and what significance his image can look like in the eyes of an artist?


The unexpected guests play for 40 minutes most of the time alone and can include other musicians for cultural exchange purposes.

The Unexpected guests are suitable for adults, children and children from 5 years.

Give the opportunity to open a discussion with the audience.

Perhaps Mao Zybamba himself, based on his voice and his melodies, can be used as a means of communication for the development of our society.


Mao Zybamba would like to participate in the development of the multicultural society in Sweden as a musician or as a storyteller.

But, beyond his knowledge and skills, there is the help and support he lacks.

For Ley Primera, it is a great gift to be able to belong to Carolina Calderón Kultur & Integration website.  Since we consider the protection and development of the union of the peoples through music, we fined it very vital.  We have a song that represents our group, which in one of its stanzas says ... "we dream of a world that has a brotherly union."



We are all the same,  even though we are different, in beliefs, in political thought, skin color, sexuality and so many things that differentiate us. We cling to the phrase that gave our group its name, from Don José Hernandez and his book Martín Fierro ...The gaucho Martín Fierro, a classic book from my native land sings: "Let brothers be united, because that’s the first law. Have a true union in any time that goes, because if they fight each other, they get devoured from outside."


Our message as siblings, artists and free individuals is to seek the means for brotherhood beyond all differences that exist in this world.   And that was one of the main reasons that motivated us to be part of this site.  Here we find that brotherhood that we have been seeking so much for since a long time.


The folk band "Ley Primera" was founded in 2014 in Cordoba, Argentina.  The same year, they released their first album (with a lot of effort, dedication and few resources) called "Ley Primera" with a collection of 8 songs of Argentine folk music.  The musical style that characterizes the band is Argentine and Latin American folk music.


The band consists of 3 brothers: Maria Belén Gutierrez, lead voice and guitar, Paulo Andrés Gutierrez, music director and first guitar, and Oscar Luis Gutierrez, singer-songwriter and percussion.

The band plays in various folklore and popular events in the city of Córdoba and its surroundings, as well as in private and solidarity events. The band constantly presents their material in various communication media in Córdoba such as Cadena 3 - Argentina, Radio Continental de Córdoba, Radio Universidad, among others.


Welcome to our social media and support us.  Thanks! 



Jemile Pire

My name is Jamile Pire and I come from the city of love and peace, (Qamishlo) Roj Ava in Syria. I do not remember when I started singing. I think it was born with me.  My first appearance on stage was when I was eleven years old.


The music  was a challenge for me in a society that forbids women to sing.  I sang in most of the neighboring countries to Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon.  I sang at many different festivals and special occasions such as Mother's Day, Women's Day and Nowruz, which is related to my Kurdish nationality. 


I have listened to many artists and from different languages. The music is the engine of my life.  When I moved to Sweden and I was able to continue my artistic career, I finally felt free.  I love music to the extent that I can spend all my time in a session studio. 


I think music is the only language that prevails among people. I want to communicate my art to the world.  I want to meet new cultures and musical styles.  I want to teach about Syrian music and its style. I want to meet new colleagues from all over the world.


This website will help me reach my goals. I'm ready to be seen in the world.!

Ñaupa Folclore


A group of Folklore musicians from Ituzaingó (Buenos Aires - Argentina).


It is a pleasure to bring you our material and our presentation so that you can get to know us and share our group project.

After having released our first album “Colores Nuevos” in 2017, of which we are proud, we found all the energy to exhibit it on each stage and spread it with great dedication.


We also emphasize that we had the pleasure of participating for two years in a row in important Peñas de Córdoba such as "La Fiesta del Violinero", "Peña La Chacarera Cuti and Roberto Carabajal" and "El Patio de la Piri".


In 2019 we also showed songs from the album and many others from the popular songbook on stages such as "La Peña del Kuly", "Los Cardones", "La Peña de los Pueblos", "Peña Sombra Blanca", "El Patio del Cunyi" (Salto), Municipality of Ituzaingó, among others.


In our artistic journey we have pleasantly shared Stage, Peñas and Festivals with great artists such as Peteco Carabajal y Riendas Libres, Nestor Garnica, Jose Luis Aguirre, Yacaré Manso, Pura Vida and Pacho Barroso among others.

And we are already working on new songs for the second album that we hope to release very soon.
