After touring across Europe, the Brussels based trio returns to the Belgian capital with their luggage full of songs. Their writing has matured - it is poetic, sharp but always to the point, taking a firm stance in a constantly changing society.

Still accompanied by guitar, ukulele, accordion and clarinet, they create a unique musical universe far from genre codes. Inspired by musicians such as Lhasa de Sela, Akua Naru, Giora Feidman, Chavela Vargas and Rodrigo Amarante, they create a delicious polyphonic symbiosis that can only be described as « Las Lloronas »....
