Duo Hyperborea

We have a very stylish and generally laid back presentation, suitable for background or a cabaret setting. The energy can be ramped up with louder instrumental pieces using the Bulgarian gajda (bagpipes) and drum.

We perform an eclectic range of songs and instrumental pieces from the Balkans, Turkey, Iran and North Africa. We can also focus on music from a particular region.

Both members are extremely versatile multi-instrumentalists and performances are built around a variety of instruments including ouds, tambura, Kurdish bozuk, Baglama saz, violin and percussion. And of course we have the extraordinary voice of our female vocalist.
