Florian Zenker & Santiago Cimadevilla

Electric guitar and bandoneon - an unexpected pairing that Florian Zenker and Santiago Cimadevilla transform into a compelling duo, moving effortlessly between quiet intimacy and rhythmic outburst.

The repertoire draws largely from Florian's compositions. His guitar passes through a broad range of effects, allowing him to alternate between melodic lines, layered sound textures, and free improvisation. Against this stands Santiago's bandoneon: acoustic, breathing, rhythmically distinctive. Together they navigate the intersection of composition and spontaneity, drawing on influences from jazz, contemporary music, and cinematic soundscapes.

Florian studied jazz guitar in The Hague and works as a composer for film, radio, and television alongside his performances. Santiago was born in Buenos Aires and is based in the Netherlands; his work as a bandoneonist spans tango, chamber music, contemporary music, and orchestral projects.
