Sasha Lisnichuk has spent the past fifteen years 　　creating a sound that 　　is truly distinct. His formative years, spent in Kiev, 　　Ukraine, were given to establishing a firm technical 　　proficiency on the classical guitar in a formal musical 　　environment, as well as in the folk traditions of 　　Eastern European, Middle Eastern and Gypsy music. He 　　continued to cultivate his musical ear after moving to 　　the United States by changing to the seven-string 　　guitar and studying newer musical traditions from 　　Brazilian Choro to American Jazz. The disparities 　　between all of these very discrete folk music 　　traditions blend seamlessly into his delicate musical 　　acuity and inspiring virtuosity. 　　In the second phase of the evolution of his music, Sasha 　　developed the commonalities of his Slavic musical 　　sensibility and the dynamic and range of percussion. A 　　richness and breadth was given to every song from the 　　taste of musicians steeped in the traditions of 　　percussion from around the world. On a foundation of 　　an extensive catalog of folk rhythms and sounds, 　　largely from Latin America, Sasha has built upon these 　　musical traditions with exceeding respect, augmenting 　　their contexts while also enhancing his own musical 　　voice.
