They both have been passionately exploring a wealth of traditional dance tunes and turning them into their own.
Lena and Martin set off from their respective familiar shores and met half way.

Their paths crossed, tunes were exchanged and very soon it was obvious they had a lot to say to each other and a lot they wanted the other to listen to.

Bow and bellows mix, embrace and challenge each other into creating lively, joyful and at times quite unexpected music.

The Concert

Between Sweden and France, Hälsingland and Britanny, Swing Musette, traditional tunes or brand new compositions, they will make you share sparkling moments and emotions.

Lena and Martin reveal these links, create them, underscore them, and … make you forget them.

The duo offer a very personal universe, made up of humour, poetry, simplicity, mottled with a virtuoso complicity and spontaneousness. Their carefully crafted music welcomes everyone in.

Far from being meant exclusively for specialist ears it is cheerful and warm and will be enjoyed as well by musical experts as by novices, young and not so young listeners and will carry them alive and kicking on a colorful picturesque road.

As you keep that pebble in your pocket and fondle it from time to time, still warm from last summer's sun when you picked it up on the beach, you will need to take their music along with you, with the feeling of freedom it gives you or the memories of a wonderful night spent dancing it brings back to mind.

Keep Lena and Martin within your ears' reach, that's not the last you've heard from them.
