Artist Portrait

Strunz & Farah

Band, *1979 US, United States
Latin, Jazz, World and Folk

Strunz & Farah, performing together since 1980, have created an entirely new expression for the acoustic guitar. From Costa Rica and Iran respectively, Jorge Strunz and Ardeshir Farah have brought the cultural riches of their native lands to their highly virtuosic, rhythmic, and improvisation-rich original instrumental compositions. Their music, perhaps best described as original international acoustic instrumental improvisational guitar music, world guitar or ethnojazz, is saturated with their cultural roots: Afro-Caribbean, Latin American folk, flamenco and Middle Eastern music, and draws heavily from the jazz concept of improvisation.
