Duo Pertar
In DUO PERTAR, Asian and Western cultures merge with a shared passion for cross-genre music. Chinese bass drums alternate with South American dances and tangos, while spirited marimba sounds blend harmoniously with warm jazz guitar tones, creating exotic collages ranging from Balinese landscapes to cinematic original compositions.
