How style was born
2002 became the main starting point in the career of a young guitarist. Since that time, he was almost always on the road, giving concerts in countries such as Israel, India, Mexico, as well as in some European countries. With each trip, Estace Tonne, like a sponge, absorbed the melodic folk tunes of distant countries, which were reflected in his own work. Thus, a very original style of performance, inherent only to him, was developed, which brought world fame to the guitarist.
The classical style of performance in his compositions is in harmony with the recalcitrant gypsy character, hot Spanish flamenco and Latin melodics, all of which unfold against the backdrop of a powerful electric sound. It turns out something ephemeral and extremely interesting.
creative way
If you try to add up in your mind all the concerts played by Estas from 2002 to 2018, then in total you can count more than three thousand! In addition, he managed to tour more than a hundred countries around the world, as well as establish himself as a virtuoso guitarist and record a dozen albums. Estas Tonne performs on both large and small stages, honing his skills and composing new beautiful melodies.
In general, this is a very bright charismatic person, driven by the constant search for the perfect sound. He is a free wandering bard who does not tie himself to any country in the world. After all, music is a whole universe, and Estas Tonne is spiritually attached only to it. Touching the strings with his fingers, he creates amazing worlds filled with emotions that absorb grateful listeners without a trace.
According to critics, Estace's music sounds thunderous, and this rolling roar skillfully combines wonderful riffs and solo parts of an ethnic character. The new style, expressing the composer's idea, echoing various folk melodies, definitely appealed to all of them. If only for this reason, he deserves attention and honor!
This performer became a DISCOVERY for me just a few days ago, although he has been known for quite a long time. But this is exactly the case when better late than never. What I share with you, my friends.
Estace Tonne was born in Ukraine on April 24, 1975. Like many Soviet children, he studied at a music school, and very well, but he could not even imagine that it was music that would bring him fame, although this would not happen so quickly.
In the dashing nineties, he emigrated to Israel, where he lived for ten years, but never found himself. Then there were long years of endless moving from one country to another, until, finally, in September 2002 in New York, Estas received a guitar as a gift, which completely changed his life. According to the virtuoso, it was as if a door to another Reality opened before him, in which he became a modern troubadour.
And again they flashed a colorful kaleidoscope of the city, where Tonne had already arrived as a guitarist, but still had no idea where exactly he would stop and perform. The street became his stage, and ordinary passers-by became the most grateful spectators. Of course, for last years a lot has changed. Estas Tonne will be honored to host the most luxurious halls, which he will certainly easily assemble. But for the virtuoso himself, commercial success is not the most important thing in life. His goal is to comprehend Music and gain true Freedom through it.
It is amazing how harmoniously the echoes of gypsy, Indian, Spanish, Russian, Arabic (you can’t list them all) are combined in his compositions. folk culture. It seems that for the musician some universal channel of Consciousness, accessible only to him, has really been opened!

In fact, I have a favorite guitarist. No matter how much you tell me about the skill of Jimi Hendrix, Gary Moore, Ritchie Blackmore or Slash, but none is closer than Eustace Tonne.
It was all the more surprising to find out that the dude was born in the Soviet Ukraine, in 1975. So here it is. Nationality Estace Tonne is Ukrainian. But in fact, he has been wandering the world for a long time, so his art has absorbed many colors from the musical palette of the planet.
Very little is known about his biography. Wikipedia is silent, but we managed to google a little information. The supposed real name is Stanislav. One of his statements:
"What will happen if I give up everything I knew, forget everything that I was taught, leave my homes and allow myself to become real. Perhaps then I will reach new heights, become myself and find my true home? .."
From this we can conclude that Estace does not want to be talked about a lot, and in fact, he does not want to. It is worth saying, perhaps, about his music. And the music is such that I listened to The Inside Movie, one of the albums, with headphones until 4 in the morning yesterday. Nothing but a guitar. But it is impossible to get away from it - bypassing any intermediaries, such as the husk of consciousness, music addresses directly to the unconscious. Everything is in it - endless loneliness, wind of wanderings, freedom and improvisation. No wonder Estace is called a modern troubadour - in my opinion, he discovers something in music that has long been lost.
Bought from rutracker.org. Without a doubt, I give the musician a few euros for his work, but only when meeting on the street, for example. I don’t want to pay intermediaries and incomprehensible sites, since it is completely unknown whether the money will reach the author.
This performer became a DISCOVERY for me just a few days ago, although he has been known for quite a long time. But this is exactly the case when better late than never. I'll be honest: I am completely and irrevocably captivated by Estas Tonne, both as a virtuoso musician and as a "medieval-brutal" handsome man. What I share with you, my friends.

A musician who plays with the soul and for the soul. A person who was able to hear the call of the heart and make a choice in favor of his destiny. The world-famous guitarist, who recently visited Ukraine as part of a world concert tour, told KZh about the ability to hear and choose one's own path.
Eustace Tonne
He began his career as a musician by giving street performances and traveling with them to numerous corners of the world (USA, Mexico, India, etc.). At that time, he often called himself a "modern troubadour." Since 2002, he has been touring with organized concerts, gathering sold-out crowds at famous concert venues around the world. Has performed in the USA, Mexico, Israel, India, as well as many European countries
You have made an unusual life choice - the path of the troubadour. What contributed to this?
The troubadour is probably only part of who Estace Tonne is. It's more of a formality. We all play specific roles at different moments in our lives: a troubadour, a son, a brother, a friend, or… a strange being. Only what we ourselves determine is important on our way. Music leads me along this path - not even just music, but life. I collect something, I release something.
When you started the path of the troubadour, did you think about fame, fame?
Perhaps there were such thoughts. But what does fame mean, why does each of us need it at all? I ask the question to everyone: what does it mean to be famous? Someone may be famous on a particular street, in their city and country, even on a continent. But known for what? What do we do with the fact that someone finds out about someone? For example, as I walked along my own road, so I go along it, regardless of the views in in social networks. For me, it is only important to feel that I am on the right path that I have chosen.
Have you chosen this path from the very beginning?
Even 15-20 years ago, I did not even think that I would give concerts as a musician, touring the world. Many years after graduation music school I didn’t play music and didn’t even imagine myself with a guitar. There was no such vision. There was another idea that had nothing to do with music. But life interestingly put everything on the shelves.
Do you feel inspired every day?
The flow we call inspiration is always there. We are simply too busy to connect to it, and many of us simply do not know our personal connection channel. But he is always there.
What is inspiration for you?
It is "connection" and self-expression. Inspiration is an ocean that expresses itself through me. This ocean manifests itself in each of us in absolutely different ways. For some it's music, for some it's paintings, for some it's creating books, staging a dance, filming a movie... Preparing a delicious dinner is also an art. Inspiration is always there, but where are we?
How to "connect" to the flow, the ocean of self-expression?
Art is not just a physically expressed entity, not just musical composition. To create means to see and feel the life around, the attitude to other people, to your day, to yourself. It is also art and inspiration.
