About us

„We are PasiónAzul, a cello and guitar duo, and for almost three years now we've spent many hours studying, rehearsing, and sharing the stage together in concert. While we are passionate about what we do and diligent with our music, we love to explore and create spontaneous new musical experiences as well. Our repertoire includes Classical music, World music (Brazilian, Celtic, Flamenco, etc.) as well as many of our own compositions. At this time, we have completed recording our first album which offers the listener a taste of these genres. We have also given live concerts across Spain, Germany, and Portugal, always to wonderful and appreciative audiences. This, of course, has encouraged us to continue on our path, and reminds us as well of the great transformative power of music. Through each concert, we seek to bring our audience with us into these memorable instances that connect us all to something deeper, something higher and truer. It is a joy to see this happen through what we bring to each stage. The greatest gift to us as performers is being able to bring unique musical moments to our audiences, moments that remain suspended outside of time, eternal moments, which can produce a unique experience for each person. For us, each concert is a living experience where what happens between us and the audience is always unique. PasiónAzul offers its listeners a journey of sound where it's the sensitivity and energy of musical passion that inspires and transforms us all.“
