Tereza Catarov - Debut Album release - Koren

Tereza Catarov is a London-based singer, pianist, and composer whose music bridges contemporary jazz with traditional Balkan and Eastern European influences. Her work is deeply rooted in the multicultural heritage of her upbringing, blending Romanian and Bulgarian folk traditions with jazz.

Her debut album, Koren — meaning "root" in several Slavic languages—honours the voices of the women who shaped her early life, particularly her grandmothers and the broader community of elders from her childhood. It is a sonic archive of resilience, told through original compositions, reimagined folk melodies, and fragments of oral history.

For this project, Tereza assembled a stellar international ensemble: Yiorgos Bereris (piano), Cem Evin (guitar), Thodoris Ziarkas (double bass), and Billy Pod (drums). Together, they create an intimate yet expansive soundscape—where traditional folk melodies meet contemporary improvisation, and ancient languages find new life.
