Their first CD, Turtle Dreams, is the winner of Indie Acoustic’s Best Instrumental Album of 2019 - full of original music that has been described as “colorful and vibrant”, “emotional”, a “stunning combination of jazz, flamenco, and subtle world music”, and ”sophisticated rhythmic elements…emotional, natural and organic”.

1. Gnossienne
2. Bulerias Barrocas
3. Sad
4. Veneta
5. Cayendo
6. Happy
Combining achingly crafted, beautiful strokes of longing together with some fervent, upbeat and joyous tones, first we get the pleasure to listen to Gnossienne which is itself perfectly followed by startling, impassioned fervency of Bulerias Barrocas and then comes the appropriately-named, yet still veined with heartfelt earnestness Sad.
Along next is one of my own personal favorites here, the tantalizingly sculptured title track Veneta which is backed by the subtly ornamented Cayendo, this 6-track masterpiece coming to a close on the harmoniously joyous resonations of Happy.
