Music creation and renewal on a rich traditional base join his long experience as musicians, to hit a gear instrumental and vocal quality able to open new horizons in the music inspired by traditional roots.
Place of origin, Olivenza (Badajoz) gives them the "bicultural" characteristic of such a spontaneous and simple way that could only be explained knowing born from the essential, from the base of vital learning.
