Hevhetia 2014: Port Mone Trio

The instrumental trio Port Mone (Aleksy Vorsoba – accordion, Sergey Kravchenko – percussion, Aleksey Vacnuk – bass guitar) is known for its unique, intricate and complex melodies with a prevalent use of accordion. Since its creation in 2006 in Minsk, Belarus, Port Mone has become a darling of Eastern Europan music critics and a welcome participant of multiple international music festivals. Music of the trio steps away from the typical stylistic norms and links classical music, noise, experimental music and folk in refreshingly new ways. Its debut album Dip released by a well-respected independent label Geometry (Russia) brought them recognition and international acclaim. It was noted by the critics and won Foreign Expert´s Prize at annual awards in Belarus (voted by critics from Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia and Ukraine). It was called the best foreign album of 2009 in Croatia and was nominated for highly respectable Steppenwolf Award as The Best Album and The music of 2010 in Russia. Musi
