The instruments of choice for musician and composer of Vietnamese origin Huu Bac are quite unusual: the du dan bau (Vietnamese monochord), the erhu (Chinese fiddle) and the quena (Andean flute), to which the guitar is added. These exotic sounds are not, however, at the service of traditional music, but rather of a jazz with planetary colours, nourished by his travels and encounters in the four corners of the globe. He is accompanied by a violinist and a rhythm section with piano, double bass and drums, everything traditional.
