Etnosoi! Flamenco! – Etnosoi Festival's Club Night

Performers during the evening: Flamenco Duo Murtola & Widenius (FI) and Myrddin & Imre (BE).

Flamenco Duo Murtola & Widenius (FI) The Finnish flamenco music duo is a mutual project of two prominent Finnish artists, flamenco singer Anna Murtola and flamenco guitarist Joonas Widenius.

In their concerts, some of the deepest and most profound tones of the traditional Spanish flamenco are met with lighter ballads where the singer's nuance rich voice joins in a conversation with the virtuosic rhythms of the flamenco guitar.

Both artists draw inspiration also from their own northern roots that lie in Northern Finland, creating new and unique Nordic flamenco. The long mutual journey of these musicians has tied their musical communication together into tight rhythms and touching expressions, typical for flamenco.

Both musicians are also recording artists and developers of their own Nordic Flamenco sound. “Flamenco from the land of the midnight sun - The Finnish duo Anna Murtola and Joonas Widenius presented a sound journey between worlds” – Ralf Bittner / Newspaper Neue Westfälische, Herford

Myrddin & Imre (BE) “While Myrddin tells mysterious stories and fairy tales with endless interfalls of notes on his guitar, Imre hypnotises your soul with the sound waves of her cello”

Starting from their genetic bound they travel through a journey that finds its origin in Myrddin’s written compositions. His technical virtuosity, his taste for experimentation and his deep lyrical sensibility merge into a unique musical world.

The daughter of Myrddin, Imre, cellist, made her debut with her father at the Gent Jazz Festival in 2018. The beginning of a great career was written in the stars. Their debut album is due to release in the spring of 2023.

Imre, who knows and feels his music like no other, complements her virtuoso father in a sensitive, cutting and unctuous way. Making a perfect blend of sharp and soft. The family of musicians De Cauter puts a new generation of musicians ahead…
