Loogaroo

Loogaroo is the fruit of more than 10 years spent together on the boards. After having been at the origin of several groups in the middle ground between folk and a host of other musical styles, now Florian De Schepper and Pablo Golder appear before you in the purest, most fragile but also that most powerful musical combination: the duo.

It took several years for our two musicians to decide to embark on the adventure of Loogaroo and what emerges from it is a band of great musical maturity, even though its creation dates back to only 3 years ago. Despite the fact that one of the two was trained in the tradition of a classical conservatory while the other has no notion of written music at all, Pablo and Florian draw strength from their differences and both have learned to create an ample middle ground somewhere between the irrepressible melodies of the accordion and the more sober chord progressions of the guitar. And neither do they hesitate to change roles within this group format, leaving plenty of room for solo improvisation.

In 2022 their first album "Nautilus" was released on Trad Records with a supporting series of concerts in Belgium and Holland during the autumn of 2022.

"Both are excellent composers and offer fresh and original music, which is off the beaten track. 'Nautilus' is a disc in which each piece contains unexpected solutions - it surprises, amuses and moves you. It’s a real breath of fresh air within the panorama of world music. “Don’t miss it !” Riccardo Tesi.
