What happens when a classical clarinetist, a contemporary accordionist, and a jazz double bassist join forces? The result is Firasso – a post-genre group whose three musicians have developed a grounded, gripping musical language: passionate, dynamic, and full of contrasts. The trio performs sophisticated original compositions that draw on the musical vocabularies of tango and klezmer traditions, Balkan music, and French musette. The sound ranges from fiery and blazing to as refreshing as a summer downpour — or as intense as a strong ristretto.

Tales tells stories from life. Small, quirky, endearing. Everything has its own melody.
