Sextet born from a trio

Green Moon Tribe is a Belgian project based on longstanding friendships, it evolves in a tensed flow on compositions at the crossroads of folk and jazz.

Their second album is called “Tyto alba”, also known as a barn owl. Similar to the graceful glide of this fascinating creature, the music drifts away, comes and goes, as the Irish fog hovers on the vast horizons of Central, Northern and Southern Europe… Midway, the rythm accelerates and you are transported to a pub in Cork or Galway.

Here is a brilliant trio of Irish and Celtic music!

ASTORIA has the special feature of performing exclusively Astor PIAZZOLLA’s master work, adapted and transcribed by accordionist Christophe DELPORTE.

As an ensemble with a varied combination of four to eight musicians, all graduated from Royal Conservatories and laureates of international contests, ASTORIA imposes their own identity through the energy, the rigor and the emotion they express in their interpretation.
