With their debut album Bunte Socken, Tubonika explores traditional folk idioms while placing them within a broader contemporary sound context. The duo combines tuba and Styrian accordion, expanding the sonic vocabulary of both instruments through collaboration with guest musicians from diverse musical backgrounds.

The album brings together long-standing musical companions whose stylistic range extends from jazz and classical to singer-songwriter and alternative scenes. The result is a collection of pieces that move between rooted tradition and open, genre-fluid expression.
