DUO PRIMO
Per Elling Kobberstad - Drums/Percussion
Per Olav Kobberstad - 8-String Guitar
15 years ago, Per Elling started teaching his cousin(primo) Per Olav to play guitar.
Recently they formed a duo, playing
original compositions inspired by folk music, jazz, and latin-american rythms, and they also play tunes from Per Olav Kobberstads album "Os Rios, As Ligações" 2014.
The songs have a nice balance of improvisation and composition, and the unusual formation of 8-string guitar and percussion opens up new possibilities and makes them a very interesting sounding duo.
In 2015 the duo was travelling to Italy and Brazil, where they performed at jazz clubs and recorded a new album.
