Alexei Kofanov – Pieces for Mandolin and Guitar
Alex Kofanov is a singer, guitarist and composer from St. Petersburg in Russia. He is also a writer and has published in the “Newa” magazine.
Alex Kofanov has also published two books for the guitar. Those books should serve to learn to play the guitar from the basics, to play in many different styles and also to compose.

In his pieces you can finde influences from Russian folklore, jazz, blues, boassa-nova – I like his style, and I hope that he will compose more like this.
