The V3 Trio complemented the phenomenal performances of Vlatko Stefanovski. With the addition of bass guitar and drums, they further enhanced the rock concert prepared on the stage of Tasmajdan. Stefanovski and the V3 trio combined seemingly incompatible things like instrumental rock, ethno jazz, blues, and jazz fusion, creating exciting and beautiful soundscapes.
Before the concert, Vlatko said: "It is my pleasure to perform at Tasmajadan, even with a rejuvenated band, with Trio V3, a young rhythm section consisting of Ivan Kukić on bass guitar and my son Jan on drums. Regardless of their age, the two of them sound incredibly young and enthusiastic, and their energy gives me the wind in my back. I am glad that I collaborated with them on the last album as well. It's beautiful to play with people who are always smiling. I hope that the audience that comes to the beautiful Tasmajdan will enjoy and leave satisfied and fulfilled."
After the very successful acoustic album "Mother Tongue," Vlatko Stefanovski decided to return to the sound and atmosphere of the seventies of the last century. "Taftalidze Shuffle" is a new studio edition of the Macedonian virtuoso that he released last year, and 9 songs recorded in his studio Esoteria will surely delight all fans of good music. Vlatko dedicated this album, like many so far, to his Skopje and the Taftalidze district, which has a special place in his heart. The songs are intimate and personal, and yet so close to everyone, precisely because of the sensibility that his music carries. The music, lyrics, arrangements, and production of all 9 songs are signed by Vlatko.
