Three travelling musicians from Italy and Germany, stranded in Lisbon. Packed with Jazz, World Music and Musicology Studies they set out for new adventures, searching different perspectives, rhythms and melodies, broadening their horizons.

Their concerts are excursions to the most remote parts of Europe, Latin America and Africa. The travelogues get mixed up and so the music: Klezmer with Funk, Italian folklore with African rhythms, Chanson with Batucada. The three musicians sing in every language they find appropriate and transform the public into talented singing birds.

Kurdophone originate from the true cultural melting pot of Vienna. Coming from Iran and Austria,
the young musicians bring together old Kurdish melodies and Western influences in their music.

As different as their musical cultures may be, the artists have set out in search of common ground and
have found what they werelooking for: ontraditional instruments such as the Iranian kamancheh or
the tanbur, a long necked string instrument, Kurdophone create their own original music involving
elements from jazz, classical music up to contemporary music.

L'Oud whispers reflect our contradictions as musicians when we try to make the sound of our music louder than the sound of war.
