“Princesse Angine” is the newest Viennese project of a Russian singer-songwriter Xenia Ostrovskaya, who mixes jazz, soft rock, folk and sung poetry. Sung poetry, or Poet rock, bloomed in USSR shortly before the Perestroika. Xenia, originally from Saint-Petersburg, portrays great influence of this genre in her songs. “Princesse Angine” started in 2010 and early works were mostly with a guitar. More recently, Israeli-Russian musician Nika Sapo, in cooperation with different arrangers in Vienna, created a new sound for “Princesse Angine”. The transformation is distinguished by the introduction of a string quartet and a rhythm section. On the 24th of March 2014, with their new line-up, the Band debuted in the “Strenge Kammer” of the renowned Viennese Jazz and Music Club “Porgy & Bess”. (Pressetext)
