Double Bill : Thomas Decock / Artan Buleshkaj & Filippo Bianchini / Luca Mannutza ‘A tu per tu’

Thomas Decock - Artan Buleshkaj

Their mutual love for all things Americana is what united Belgian guitarists Thomas Decock and Artan Buleshkaj. Avid frequenters of local jam sessions, they started by playing jazz standards before turning to a folk and country repertoire, deeply appreciated by both.
Their two guitars, plugged with little to no effects, create a raw and authentic atmosphere. Their repertoire blends the influences of folk legends such as Chet Atkins and Doc Watson, modern artists such as Joni Mitchell and Shawn Colvin, and jazz masters such as Thelonious Monk, Richard Rogers and Paul Motian. The result is a unique mix of folk and country harmonic structures, enhanced by the spirit of adventure and improvisation of jazz itself.

Filippo Bianchini - Luca Mannutza ‘A tu per tu’

Filippo Bianchini and Luca Mannutza seek a continuous dialogue, a musical interaction that develops expansive sounds, sometimes very strong and powerful, almost unthinkable for an ensemble like the duo. Thanks to their technical and musical talent, they take the music to very high, intense levels, sometimes softer, depending on the music's demands.
Rhythm, energy, and melody are the foundations of this musical exploration. The repertoire includes original pieces by both performers, but also by other great musicians such as Seamus Blake, Brad Mehldau, Enrico Pierrannunzi, Toots Thielemans and others.
