A message of timelessness in Jupiter 7’s song “Forever”

The young band Jupiter 7 presents "Zavinagi" ("Forever") – a song written together with Krasi Kurtev, who passed away a year ago. He was not only the founder of the band Akaga but also a mentor to Jupiter 7, who first came together as students. His musical legacy lives on in their songs, and in "Zavinagi", besides his ideas, his voice is also brought to life. Krasi Kurtev’s son, Neo Kurtev, the frontman and vocalist of Jupiter 7, shares that during this difficult period for him and his family, they revisited the memories of Krasi – not only through photos but also through the recordings they made together:

"One of the recordings that remained was that of 'Zavinagi', which we had made in our home studio. I had forgotten the whole song, but then I remembered how one day my father came into the room and said, 'I have an idea for a song, can you accompany me on guitar?' We recorded it with him, he sang the whole song. I was very moved when I heard it. I played it for the band and we decided that we had to make it. We had to record it and dedicate it to Krasi, as he created us as a band, and the least we can do is this song."

The musicians of Jupiter 7 further developed the song, leaving Krasi Kurtev's voice – a precious and touching performance. So in "Zavinagi", we hear this dialogue between father and son, beyond time. Many friends of the family also participated in the recording: Syon Najman – cello, Milena Borisova and Galya Atanasova – violins, Rado Kazasov – drums, and Yassen Velchev – piano.
