Description

MM Quintet comprises individuals who are special to Minja and are talented musicians from different parts of the world. Most importantly, they are friends that she met during her first year of studying in Amsterdam.

Minja Mijušković, band leader of Minja Mijuskovic Quintet, was born in Belgrade, Serbia.

She is pleased to introduce to you her band - Yehorii Uzhva on tenor saxophone, Ilay Shachal on alto and soprano saxophone, Duarte Fernandes on double bass, Alexander Ivanov on drums and Minja Mijuskovic herself on piano.

The heart of Minja's music lies in the changing odd-meter groove that is significant in the national music of Serbia. The repertoire of the band consists of Minja's original compositions and arrangements. From a young age, various genres had an influence on Minja, such as folk music from the Balkans, classical music and even traditional and modern jazz, whose mix of genres this band now performs. Quintet released two singles this year: "Wisteria" and "Groovyah", which are now available on all music platforms. In April 2025 the band has recorded their debut album.

The goal of the band is to paint a picture of Balkan countries to the listeners, for them to feel nostalgic emotion and get introduced to the mentality of people from Eastern Europe.
