Khidja (RO)

Andrei Rusu and Florentin Tudor's Khidja project (pronounced "Khadeeja") started in the 10th grade, in the backyard of their German High School. They found the name “Khidja" by stumbling upon an old record by the legendary band Mandrill, which included a track with that same name. If you listen to Mandrill's "Khidja," you will find yourself embarking on an adventure where genres intertwine, Latin meets prog and funk meets jazz. This fusion of styles is "what Khidja is all about," they say, and over time their sound is continuously changing and transforming—jumping from era to era and genre to genre.
