Bio
for booking info and queries, please email:.. ..info@troubadore.com.. .... il Troubadore and Sherena (belly dance) playing "Milise Mou": .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. il Troubadore and Laylia (belly dance) playing "Erev Shel Shoshanim": .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... Entertaining audiences with music from around the world since 2004!! .. .. .. .. .."Amid il Troubadore's 700-song repertoire, which ranges from operatic showcases to Turkish dance numbers, unplugged renditions of tunes popularized by Ozzy Osbourne and Nine Inch Nails are bound to amuse".... - Dave Lindquist, ..Indianapolis Star.. .. .. .."il Troubadore performs everything from Italian Bel Canto to Chinese Opera on Instruments ranging from mandolin to Celtic harp to dumbek--which is fascinating in itself. But things get really interesting when the group puts its worldly spin on songs by Dean Martin, Metallica, and the Bee Gees.".... - Matt Gonzales, ..Indianapolis Monthly.. .. .. Picked No. 1 World Music Band in Indianapolis.. - Nora Spitznogle, ..NUVO.. 2007 Night Life Guide .. .. .."Oddly Enjoyable".... - Allen Richmond, ..All Frets.. Magazine .... .."Il Troubadore took the audience from frenzied to mesmerized. They played a set beautiful to both eye and ear. The performance was an invigorating take on Albanian and Bulgarian folk music. Cellist Jon Silpayamanant made the sound of his instrument soar as his horse-hair bow began to unravel.".... - Amber Kerezman, ..NUVO.. Newsweekly .... .."Witty, unique and rockin".... - Noah Mueller, ..Lafayette Music League.. .. .. .."...However, the music from Snakes Rising and Il Troubadore was radiant...the energy never wavered; it was fantastic.".... - Lindsay Greene, ..Pucknation.. .... .."[M]ay be one of the only bands to feature both ABBA covers and traditional Irish songs on its set list.".... - Jessica Halversen, ..INTake.. .... .."...the notorious local band, Il Troubadore...has caused a stir in local music circles.".... - Steve Hammer, ..NUVO.. Newsweekly .. ..

Unique - think Andre Bocelli accompanied by Eddie Van Cello and Joco Mandolinous. That's not quite like il Troubadore, but in the ballpark.
