DUO NARANJO WEURLANDER (Piano-accordeon/CHILE-FINLAND)
“…World class duo with passion, sadness, virtuosity and impetuous joy…”
Tania Naranjo's and Minna Weurlander's paths crossed through their shared love of Tango Nuevo. It was of course more than just the geographical distance that separated Minna's childhood in Finland from Tania's childhood in Chile. Even so, their temperament and mentality are very much alike. "Entwined" is the duo's first album, consisting mostly of their own compositions. Three pieces written for the duo by composer Kjell Edstrand, also appear on the album.
Duo Naranjo-Weurlander is a cross-border duo in a broad sense. Although their music originates from two different cultures, there are more things that unite than separate them. The intensity, the power, the melancholy and the expressive phrasings are a common feature in their music. They have ability to rapidly vacillate from duo playing into functioning as one body with a seemingly common thought and direction. Through a large number of concerts they know each other's instincts so well that they simply let the music flow. Maybe each of them has found her musical soul mate. Maybe the music is a universal language that unites more than it separates.
The Duo tours now frequently in Europe and Scandinavia.The press all over has praised their concerts and the latest album Entwined. They have appeared multiple times on Swedish National Radio, giving interviews and live concerts.
Concerts 2015 include performance at ISPA congress in Sweden, Canada (TD Sunfest & Kultrúnfestival), Scenkonstbiennal-Malmö, Copenhaguen Jazzfestival
