First Prize of B-JAZZ INTERNATIONAL CONTEST 2019
« AISHINKA wins with music based on traditional Bulgarian music. The band was touching us, gave us goosebumps, caught our attention from the first moment on and kept surprising us. AISHINKA had a real vibe with the audience. The arrangements are great: varied and in balance. Beautiful sounds! The singers are great. The voicings they sing are extraordinary and performed beautifully. The solo of the singer was so good. Give us more of this! We love the soprano sax in the band. Beautiful rhythmsection. The playing of the pianist was so delicate. We like the lightplan at the beginning of the concert where the singers and the saxophone player gather around the piano creating a good athmosphere and sound » B-Jazz Jury
