Quetsch 'n' Vibes
Quetsch ‘n’ Vibes combines diverse musical worlds. Traditional folk music, embodied by the Styrian accordion, coalesces masterfully with the jazzy sounds of the vibraphone, the earthiness of the marimba, and many other exotic instruments. This encounter releases a stream of new sounds and colours, on which the trio skillfully navigates this diverse musical terrain.
