TOLYQYN are an international trio from Berlin, founded by Roland Satterwhite (Moka Efti Orchestra, among others). Musically, the band moves between rock, jazz, West African rhythms and other genres that have influenced the musicians on their countless sound journeys around the world. With their unusual line-up of vocals/viola, electric guitar and drums, the band has opened up completely new spheres of sound and released their self-titled debut in 2020. The album was highly praised by critics and brought the band their first media presence, including an invitation to appear on ZDF Morgenmagazin. The album was also well received on the radio and MDR Kultur wrote, for example, "Roland Satterwhite's virtuoso way of playing the viola is the common thread in this colorful mix of different styles. Sometimes his viola sounds like a bass, then again like a West African kora. A very exciting debut!" This was followed by the first festival appearances and concerts on club stages
in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Denmark, including International Music Meeting, (NL) Tollwood (DE), Traumzeit (DE) and Copenhagen Jazz Fest (Roots & Jazz). In October 2023, the band released their second album "Silver Seed" and are working on a third, which is scheduled for release in mid-2025.
