Recently back from world tour with Madonna Vadim Kolpakov & VIA Romen are bringing genuine Russian Gypsy music to Northwest. The group was founded in the USA by Vadim Kolpakov in 2004, and has since performed to glowing reviews in many North American venues. These include the New York Gypsy Fest, Harvard University, California Romani Festivals - Herdjelezi, the Colorado Festival of World Theatre; and the Romani Yag Gypsy festival in Montreal, Canada. The band members' talent has been recognized by a number of famous artists. Two founding members of the band, Vadim Kolpakov and Arkadiy Gips, were part of Madonna's "Sticky & Sweet 2008/2009" tour as part of the Kolpakov trio. VIA Romen has also performed with Gogol Bordello and Dresden Dolls. More about Vadim Kolpakov on myspace page and personal web site.
