The new duet project launched by Pello Ramirez and Xabier Zeberio, musicians with extensive experience in the world of Basque music, is based on the fusion of two very similar ways of understanding
and living music.

There are three fundamental pillars to the project:

First, the need to experiment and find new creative horizons, second to create a unique instrumental proposal of great originality and very spectacular, both audibly and visually (the main instruments being the Nyckelharpa and the chromatic button accordion) and finally a varied and entertaining repertoire, including original works composed expressly for the new creation and recreation of various folk themes from countries such as Sweden, the Basque Country, etc.

Pello Ramirez and Xabier Zeberio's paths first crossed in 1998.

One year later they created the string quartet ALOS QUARTET with Francisco Herrero and Lorena Núñez. This formation has given them the opportunity to work on many projects with an endless list of national and international musicians, among them: Dulce Pontes, Carlos Núñez, Los piratas, Kepa Junkera, Benito Lertxundi, Oskorri, Waldemar Bastos and many more.

The result of this friendship is this new duet project, which combines sounds that are as original and as magical as those arising from the combination of the Nyckelharpa (a Swedish keyed-fiddle of medieval origin) and the chromatic button accordion.

It is a challenge for us to express music in such a limited format as a duet, where the maximum skills of a musician are probably revealed.
