Most of the music they perform is improvisational, blending different cultures and traditions in a seamless and cohesive whole.

            As a duo, they have performed in New York City , Swan Lake (New York), Wolcott (Colorado), Rome (Italy), Madrid (Spain), Lisbon (Portugal) and Almada (Portugal). They have recently recorded a CD of original compositions and improvisations.
