Oana Cătălina Chițu @Zig Zag Jazz Club Berlin

Hello everyone!

Let's experience a wonderful evening with Oana Cătălina Chițu and her band on the second Sunday of Advent. I saw them last year and was swept away by the amazing mix of the Romanian traditional songs and beautiful Balkan sounds.

Oana Cătălina Chițu was born in Humulestin in northern Romania and moved to Berlin in the 1990s. Her repertoire includes tango music from 1930s Bucharest as well as songs of the Roma and various Balkan cultures. The program brings together Christmas and winter songs from Romania with melodies and tunes from the Balkan region.

Dejan Jovanović arrived in Berlin in 1999, after winning numerous accordion competitions in Serbia, to study classical accordion at the Hanns Eisler School of Music. His masterful playing is admired throughout Europe; in 2021 and 2022 he was awarded scholarships from Musikfonds, GVL, and the German Music Council. But Dejan is not only a gifted accordionist — he also composes for accordion and symphony orchestra. Several of his works were performed in Serbia at the New Year’s Concert in January 2020 with the RTS Symphony Orchestra, and in 2022 he toured Serbia with the Virtuouzi Symphony Orchestra.
