Venetsiana Argyriou (a santuri player and music teacher) and
Wouter Vandenabeele (violin player and arranger, Olla Vogala) met in a project in France, summer 2015. They found a common dedication for traditional dance and music of France/Belgium and Greece.

They decided the fix a new project with two other musicians:

Katerina Douka: a well known singer for interpreting rebètiko and Balkan dances.
(she performed in Artbase alrready with Pliri Ntaxei).
They explore from Greek and Balkan songs over island dances and Belgian mazurka's to Minor Asia music and new compositions,
mixed with jazzy improvisations.
