Dusan Bogdanovic was inspired to create this project when he wrote a compilation of world music pieces for his young son, but after hearing the duo Antigoni Goni and Eleonora Perretta perform, he expanded the idea considerably. A colorful variety emerges: from 17th century chanson to Irish fiddle jigs, from humorous Dalmatian songs to a Sephardic romance, from the dances of southeastern Iran to Balinese rice plant music. Finally, he has added arrangements of three popular Neapolitan songs. The musical collaboration between Antigoni Goni and Eleonora Perretta is a harmonious symbiosis of different generations, cultural backgrounds and artistic inclinations. What began as a teacher-pupil relationship at the Royal Conservatory in Brussels (KCB) soon developed into a creative artistic partnership based on mutual respect, admiration, artistic exchange and a shared passion for the limitless expressive potential of the classical guitar. This is the first time they have made a recording - the works of Dusan Bogdanovic suit them well, as he is a composer whose bold, genre-bending music perfectly matches the guitarists' approach. The composer described their collaboration as 'magnificent and glorious'.
