about

After the "Name it so" in 2020, this our second album as a duet. This time we explored the sound of the Nylon strings trying to see things beyond flamenco and classical guitar. We have played 4 songs in our own way, and two improvised pieces. A continuous dialogue on defying musical genres and guitar playing styles.
