Beyond Borders

"Lelo is the greatest accordion player I've ever heard - by far!!!" (Joe Zawinul).
Not so surprising: Lelo has competed twice in the Acccordion World Championship - and won both times! Beyond all technical problems Lelo and his musicians play a sparkling, fiery music with one foot in the Balkans and the other in Romanian-Gypsy music traditions. Everything delievered with cool groove and jazz influences. "Beyond Borders" is Lelo's third solo album. "Lelo Nika is a musician with his heart involved in his music. Great feeling, personality, musicality, joy of playing, followed by fantastic technical ability make him one of the most touching musicians I have heard in a long time. Lelo takes you into the fantastic world of original gypsy music. His touch makes listening magic". (Bo Stief).
