Murakami/The Journey
Luiz Murakami from Brazil and Tuva Færden from Norway met each other for the first time at a festival in Switzerland in 2019. They form a strong musical bond. Through the pandemic, they kept in touch and a wonderful music project began to take shape.
Their music ranges from traditional material to new compositions inspired by the similarities between the Norwegian Harding fiddle and the Brazilian rabeca. Two different instruments from different corners of the world, but with a number of musical similarities. Together with a Norwegian lyre, a Brazilian guitar, a Japanese shakuachi and their own voices, they give us a glimpse of the world, seen through Norwegian-Brazilian eyes.
The duo's first album will be released in the fall of 2024.
