LELO NIKA is way beyond technical challenges and virtuosity. He is one hundred percent expression. But it is not only about: expressing feelings; sudden changes from sorrow into joy, from dispair into victory, from melancholy into euphoria, are also conveyed by other musicians from various genres. Lelo Nika gives you something more. Through his instrument he gives birth to stories that fire your imagination even if you should happen to be quite unimaginative. Glimpses of the past, Balkan places, people on the run, jealousy, happiness, misery and celebration. Brilliantly colourful, pictures are succeeded by sober haze, dream and reality become one. 

At the age of five Lelo Nika got his first accordion from his father, who is also an accordionist and whose family is well known for its gypsy music traditions passed down, through generations.
He has competed twice in the Accordion World Championship and won both times.
Just make yourself comfortable  if you can sit still  and let yourself be seduced by one of the greatest accordion phenomenons of our times.
