Yuriy Gurzhy met the Orchestre International du Vetex on a train from Brussels to Lille last year. That was no coincidence, but a part of something bigger, the launch of the Troubadours 2020 project, supposed to bring together musicians from all around Europe and taking them on a series of trips to Poland, Ukraine, Hungary , Serbia.... That first Trouba Trip was just the appetizer, the real action was supposed to start in 2020. We all know what happened next....The spring came and found Yuriy stuck at his Berlin apartment and the guys of Vetex at their homes in ..... Lille?.... with all trips and concerts cancelled. But even the pandemic coudn't stop the musicians in their will to do something together!

While walking down Schönhauser Allee on a sunny April day, passing by the closed stores and cafes and thinking about the absurdity and the consequences of the coronavirus measures, Gurzhy suddenly had an idea for a song - if hairdressers aren’t allowed to work, by the summer everyone will look like a hippy! That means that we’re gonna have the new summer Of Love! 10 minutes later the lyrics and the melody were written and sent to france. As they say, the rest is history. Don Tomasino polished the tune and arranged it for the band… Today we’re happy to present the fruit of this transeuropean musical collaboration - brothers and sisters, put on your dancing shoes and dance to

SUMMER OF LOVE 2020!
