Jovana Krstevska : vocal | Robby Marshall : tenor sax, clarinet, kaval | Hugo Corbin : guitar | Philippe Burneau : bass | Srdjan Ivanovic : drums
Fronted by North Macedonian singer Jovana Krstevska, Xénos, “foreigner” in Greek, is a group inspired by stories and experiences of exile and immigration. Their first (self titled) album was released on June 23 2023 on Rue Des Balkans (Absilone-Socadisc).
Having fled the Bosnian war as a child, Srdjan landed in Greece and was immersed in an eclectic mix of music, from Byzantine chant to Greek folk to Italian pop. By adding the discovery of jazz, he developed his own musical voice, as a drummer and composer.
