From escaping communist Hungary through a perilous 7-mile tunnel to creating one of the most innovative supergroups in music history, Leslie Mándoki's life is nothing short of extraordinary. In this episode, I sit down with the legendary musician, producer and bandleader behind Mandoki Soulmates.

We dive into Leslie's incredible journey, from bootlegging Western music behind the Iron Curtain to his escape to freedom, joining Eurovision sensation Dschinghis Khan and eventually founding the Mandoki Soulmates. Featuring collaborations with legends like Ian Anderson, Jon Lord, Greg Lake and Al Di Meola, Leslie’s evolving supergroup continues to push boundaries in progressive rock and jazz fusion.

Leslie also shares stories about working with musical icons, producing the groundbreaking analog album A Memory of Our Future and his mission to use music as a force for freedom and unity.

Don’t miss this episode—it’s a conversation about courage, creativity and the unrelenting power of music to change the world. 🎶
