Historical context

The music we play explores our ethno-cultural roots and what it means to learn beyond your natural born musical tradition. Both Arno and Thomas have received a world class education in playing both jazz and classical music. This serves as the foundation as they revisit folk melodies that have been passed down from musician-to-musician for generations.
