First envisioned by Venerable vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Andy Irvine, 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, American old-time fiddler/guitarist/ vocalist Bruce Molsky, Dutch guitarist Rens van der Zalm and Hungarian multi-instrumentalist Nicola Parov, Mozaik moves effortlessly from Celtic to old-tyme to Eastern European music, with intricate string arrangements complementing Andy's and Bruce's plaintive vocals.
