Latin 413A-gypsy-Melbourne

"Luscious, exciting and virtuosic" are words that easily spring to mind
regarding both the music and the musicians themselves.

Gypsy melodies, seductive tango rhythms and sensuous songs from Europe and Latin America are their staple - this is music to swoon by.
They are a dynamic and vibrant trio featuring the sparkling eyes and ready smiles of Hope on violin, Judy on piano accordion, and double bassist Jo .

They perform with extraordinary emotional range from extreme delicacy to blazing intensity and more than a touch of humour. Their performances do come with a health warning: the velvety seduction of their 3-part harmonies on Latin, Yiddish and Hungarian love songs

The trio can roam and play or do a concert.
