Strunz & Farah

Strunz & Farah, performing together since 1980, have created an entirely new expression for the acoustic guitar. From Costa Rica and Iran respectively, [a=Jorge Strunz] and [a=Ardeshir Farah] have brought the cultural riches of their native lands to their highly virtuosic, rhythmic, and improvisation-rich original instrumental compositions. Their music, perhaps best described as original international acoustic instrumental improvisational guitar music, world guitar or ethnojazz, is saturated with their cultural roots: Afro-Caribbean, Latin American folk, flamenco and Middle Eastern music, and draws heavily from the jazz concept of improvisation.
