The Tarzanelli Brothers band springs from the natural agreement between the violin and the accordion, but also from the encounter between two musicians. Pablo and Baltazar created their duo in 2007: Baltazar brings his Hungarian influence, his talent as an improviser, and his very personal way of making his instrument vibrate. Pablo brings to bear his Italian influences, his steady rhythmical accompaniment and his range of basses, perfectly sustaining the violin, and keeping a very lively contact with the dance and the dancers. They will take you on a trip, and will make you travel, laugh, cry, and dance. Relax, and let them invite you into their universe…

Dragoman – At a time when the mainstream is dominated by soft, unrelentingly cautious music, Dragoman aims to provide a beacon for those craving something more.  On a never-ending quest to push sonic boundaries, Dragoman spends days (and nights) on end in his Bristol studio doing what he does.  His debut album, Underbelly was released in early 2017.
