Marko Jovanović, harmonica - Germany Dražen Franolić, oud - Croatia Kamenko Ćulap, tar, mazar, oudu - Bosnia and Herzegovina The Franolić Ćulap Jovanović trio performs original compositions inspired by Arabian, Turkish, Balkan and Indian music, as well as blues and jazz. Elements of traditional Balkan music and the influence of folk music have been the trio’s main point of departure for supplementing the oriental style with jazz, blues and ethno, as well as for the spontaneous creation of new musical forms. Over the years, Dražen Franolić and Kamenko Ćulap have developed a particular oriental style, from which came the material for the album Česma (2009) and Bujrum (2013). In the album PUT (2016), the music was naturally able to accommodate the mouthorgan of Marko Jovanović. The meditative quality of the oud and the warmth and yearning of the mouthorgan are interfused with the rhythm of exotic percussion instruments. In 2019 they promoted the new album FAZA by the same publisher. Faza has nine original compositions in makam, the Arabian scale. They are played on the oud – Arabian lute (Franolić), percussion (Ćulap) and mouthorgan (Jovanović). Mingled in the compositions are Arabian music, Balkan rhythms, Indian ragas, jazz and blues. The actual names of most of the nine compositions are abbreviations of the names of the original makam scales, indicating the given scale in which the piece is composed. For example, Nah is derived from the Nahavand Kabir makam. The name of the album, Faza / Phase indicates the current state of the musical idiom of the Franolić Ćulap Jovanović Trio.

Marko Jovanović, usna harmonika, Njemačka Dražen Franolić, oud (arapska lutnja), Hrvatska Kamenko Ćulap, udaraljke (bendir, udu, egipatska tabla, riq), Bosna i Hercegovina Trio Franolić Jovanović Ćulap izvodi autorske kompozicije, inspirirane arapskom, turskom, balkanskom, indijskom, blues i jazz glazbom. Dražen Franolić i Kamenko Ćulap godinama su razvijali specifičan orijentalni stil iz kojeg je proizašao materijal za albume Česma i Bujrum. Usna harmonika Marka Jovanovića u tu se glazbu prirodno uklopila, jer je uz pretežno sviranje bluesa imao doticaja i s glazbenicima drugih kultura. Glazba koju trio izvodi je autentična zbog izravnog balkanskog utjecaja kojem su Franolić, Jovanović i Ćulap izloženi. Balkanski senzibilitet i utjecaj narodne glazbe bio im je glavno polazište za nadopunjavanje stila interesima svakog pojedinačnog glazbenika, jazzom, bluesom i ethnom. Okupljanje tria logičan je proces razvoja glazbenika koji im omogućuje stvaranje novog materijala. Njihov je repertoar zapravo spoj ranije nastalih kompozicija i slobodnog stvaranja novih. U spontanom stvaranju novih glazbenih oblika veliku ulogu igra uvijek prisutna improvizacija. Meditativnost ouda, te toplina i sjeta usne harmonike, prirodno se prožimaju s ritmom egzotičnih udaraljki. Novi album je u pripremi.
