THE PROJECT STARTED IN BERLIN WHEN GUITARIST DAVIDE CRIMALDI MET COLOMBIAN DRUMMER DAVID
MILLÁN. IT IS A COLLABORATION THAT CONNECTS MEDITERRANEAN ROOTS WITH SOUTH AMERICAN
RHYTHMS, CREATING A SHARED MUSICAL LANGUAGE. THE CORE OF THE DUO IS THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN
NYLON-STRING GUITAR AND DRUMS/PERCUSSION. THIS ACOUSTIC COMBINATION IS BEST EXPERIENCED LIVE,
WHERE THE MUSIC RELIES ON IMPROVISATION AND A NATURAL INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE TWO MUSICIANS.
WORKING WITH ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS, THEY EXPLORE JAZZ INFLUENCES AND CULTURAL TEXTURES. IT IS A MUSICAL JOURNEY WHERE RHYTHM SERVES AS THE MEETING POINT FOR TWO DIFFERENT BUT DEEPLY
CONNECTED BACKGROUNDS.
