If you’ve never seen Attila Vural perform, you’ve got to check him out. The Swiss guitarist is a dazzling musician.
His dexterity and speed, his incorporation of percussive rhythms and his original music are extraordinary.
His instruments are unique works of art, in particular, his dobromandola, a hybrid designed by Vural, with two necks jutting out from the body in a vee.
Watching him move up, down and around the instrument is a mesmerizing experience.

His baggage tells it all: while others wouldn’t ever travel without taking their umbrella – as you never know what the weather may be like – you will never see Attila Vural leaving home without his guitar: as you never know which melody is going to cross your path.
No need to say that his music sounds like a big suitcase full of lovely holiday memories – yet those are no fancy city day-trips, nor are they sailing adventures giving illusions of a pink painted moon-shine romance. The 1972 born guitarist, currently living in Zurich, Switzerland, rather tells us about journeys undertaken with eyes and hearts wide open, during which the musician is inspired by a touch of Latin American rhythm, tonalities from good old Jazz, and sober melodies close to straightforward Pop.
Since his very first arrangements, dating back to the early nineties, a creative mixture of influences characterizes the music written by Attila Vural. This mixture inspired both Vural’s own interpretations and the style of the various formations that played his compositions (Saf-Inütill, Approaches). Furthermore, Vural’s percussive mode of guitar playing is inspired very particularly by the German guitarist Claus Boesser-Ferrari. Other important inputs came from the experimental pieces by Heitor Teixeira Pereira.
In 1997, it was Dominic Miller’s CD «First Touch» that led him to focus increasingly on his solo guitar endeavor. Ten years ago, he decided to consecrate his passion entirely to the single guitar. He plays six- and twelve-string instruments and counts since recently on the support of a special edition 15-string guitar – a Semi Fretless Nylon String Uke-Guitar (guitar facture: Arns & Kallenbach).
