Mozaik: Live From the Powerhouse CD

First envisioned by venerable vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Andy Irvine (Planxty, Patrick Street), Mozaik is the ultimate global stringband--a truly international ensemble who can not only perform music from a wide array of cultures, but interweave their myriad influences into an entirely new sound.

Consisting of Irvine, fellow Irish luminary Donal Lunny (bouzouki, guitar), American old-tyme fiddler/guitarist/vocalist Bruce Molsky, Dutch guitarist/mandolinist Rens van der Zalm, and Hungarian multiinstrumentalist Nikola Parov, Mozaik moves effortlessly from Celtic to old-tyme to Eastern European music, with intricate string arrangements complementing Andy and Bruce’s plaintive vocals.

As the first recorded evidence of a major new collaboration in roots music, Live From the Powerhouse is essential listening for fans of any and all international acoustic music.
