Bori Malyi and Annabella Raiona are both singers and instrumentalists from different
backgrounds who met throughout their studies of Traditional Turkish Music in the
Netherlands.
Their love for creating intimate spaces through music connects them and is what
makes their performances so warm and captivating.
The two versatile musicians accompany themselves on traditional instruments like the
koboz, violin, baglama and bendir and with their sound open doors to different
cultures and traditions.
Cukros is strongly inspired by vocal traditions, often passed on by mothers and grandmothers to the next generations, each time evolving.

With past performances they revealed their female perspective in traditional music to
a bigger audience in Rotterdam and with ongoing concerts in Austria, Slovenia and France, they are expanding their range to other parts of Europe.

The project Cukros is a child of the traditional world that merges with contemporary
ideas and constantly keeps evolving with its surroundings.
