Andrea Bucko

Andrea mixes jazz, alternative pop, soul and world music. Her lyrics (in english, french and slovak) reflect the sensitivity and temperament of her original compositions.

Her latest work „Escape“ is named after a poem by Emily Dickinson that also inspired Andrea for the songs of her new album. During the time she spent in Paris, she felt that almost everyone she met was trying to escape from something, mostly from war – be it the ghostly war in their own hearts or the very real war in the Middle East. Andrea cooperated with several refugees from the countries of Middle East in her work, “All of us there in Paris were refugees, but everybody was trying to escape from something different. The people who really lived through the war taught me lot about life and gave
me a totally new orientation in life. Their strength, their will, all the stories of loss and unfulfilled dreams, of searching love and peace inside them, of avoiding prejudices and encountering hate are strongly present in my work“.
“Escape” is a very intimate confession of a young woman touched deeply with the parisian spirit of romantic melancholy under the stark light of living with refugees – mixed with the slovak temperament and compassion she was born with. The album was recorded using mainly accoustic instruments such as harp, violloncello, accordion or double bass. Often the songs were composed on the spot during those sessions in a very sincere, spontaneous way with an underlying impressionistic intent.
