Fabian Beghin (accordion, flute, vocals):
Fabian was introduced to music when he learned how to use keyboards. Later, he learned how to play the Irish flute and the accordion in Scotland. He was then introduced in Varanasi (India) to the bansuri (Indian bamboo flute) and to the art of the ragas (Indian classical musical system) into which has made his way deeper and deeper under the supervision of Partha Bose, sitar master.
This passion for Oriental music can be found in the way he plays accordion on the level of the played modes as well as on the level of the ornaments. Moreover he has gained quite a vast and deep knowledge as far as the numerous traditions of the accordion all over the world are concerned.
