Estas Tonne (Ukrainian: Естас Тонне, Russian: Эстас Тонне, born 24 April 1975) is a self-styled "modern day troubadour"[5] who primarily plays the classical guitar in a style derived from Gypsy music.
On the Path of Love I have been falling and falling, standing up again and again and keep on walking...this magnificent walk called Life. ( E.T.)
As a modern-day Troubadour Estas Tonne’ travels countless places and finds himself in several cultural references without identifying himself with a single nation or country, rather with the cultural richness of the world. His music is therefore a reflection of many approaches. A fusion of classical structure, technique of Flamenco, roots of Gypsy, characteristics of Latin and Electronic Soundscape – a variety of styles flowing into each other almost unnoticed and showing up as surprises in a harmonious structure of sound to which the guitar is producing its wavelength - reaching out differently in each performance, yet always uniquely formed in melody.
His music is getting shaped by emotional expression and a wide range of audible elements, coming not from various music genres only, but from the access to emotions itself. They weave the sparkle of joy into the music, the tension of challenges, the gentleness of openheartedness, the grace of divine connection and the fire element springing from human’s anger, from doubt or from the passion that life has to offer.
Two opposites are the fields from where the music is formed. It is the underlying structure of “I know“ and the additional uniqueness of improvisation with the starting point of “I don’t know“. This particular approach of creating music encompasses both, the foundation and freedom in the same time.
Estas Tonne’ performs at concerts, conferences, Street, Yoga, Art or other Festivals etc., yet he is involved in collaborations that range from different film projects, poetry, meditation to dance, circus or bubble art. In his recent involvement in the film project “Time of The Sixth Sun“ he is featuring the traveling musician and the Troubadour‘s co-creational meaningful impact in society and in the world.
