German guitarist, composer, and musicologist Raphael Rogiński meshes jazz and blues traditions with folk music from around the world. His practice is strongly rooted in Jewish culture but he is just as enthused with the vital experimental sounds of outsiders from the United States such as Harry Partch and Henry Cowell.
At Le Guess Who? 2024, he appears alongside Lithuanian musician Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė of the ambient folk band Merope. Jurgelevičiūtė is just as multifaceted in her playing, skilfully blending the Baltic plucked string instrument kanklės with vocals.
Raphael Rogiński presents Žaltys with Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė, co-curated with Unsound at Le Guess Who? 2024.
