4th Race was founded in 2002 by siberian multi-instrumentalist Vladiswar Nadishana in Cheremshanka village (south Siberia). The European line up was started in 2006 in Berlin (Germany).
The style of the Trio 4th Race could be described as contemporary ethnic music. Three unusual musicians had found each other to search musical paths besides the mainstream. The music of the trio is created under the strong influence and the deep research of ethnic music from all over the world.
Using the name which comes from the mythology of South Siberian Kuzhebar minority, musicians appealing to so called "fourth race" or "fourth people" - mythological tribe of open-minded travellers, sorcerers and creative people. As tales says they had no limits in creativity. The conception of 4th Race Trio was inspired by this tales and legends. Band members are trying to keep and develop the intention and approach of those ancient people in their own music.
Although 4th Race Trio uses a lot of instruments from different cultures, they don't try to copy or reproduce any of their inspiration sources. Music is originally composed by members of the band. The compositions and the style of the band have their own unique face and instantly recognizable.
The musicians of the band came from different countries and have different musical backgrounds such a folklore, jazz and contemporary academic music. So they bring their reach different experience together to create organic crossover blend of styles, something new and refreshing. The musicians are drastically experimenting in undiscovered field of multi-cultural fusion.
The intention of the 4th Race Trio is to bring the new life to forgotten cultures and instruments and integrate them into the modern musical context. Musicians trying to find the common denominator between different musical traditions including non-western ethnic cultures and contemporary jazz.
The concert of the trio is multi-instrumental show where in each song the particular ethnic instrument is being represented. During their performance 4th Race use captivating visual backgrounds created by Nadishana which are based on ancient Siberian pyrograms (sacral symbols burnt with fire) mixed with computer graphics.
