DUO VERTRIEST-BACULALAY
BIOGRAPHY
A duo of two upcoming talented musicians from Ghent with a passion for music in all its shapes and forms.
The duo exists out of the virtuoso accordion player Leander Vertriest who is both at ease in the jazz world as in the folklore and traditional music scene and Djalt Baculalay; the grandson of Koen De Cauter on guitar and vocals who continues the musical dynasty of his family and received the musical torch from his grandfather.
Together, the two friends stood central in various groups and projects such as the Millennial All-Style Collective and Rojaze Belgium and performed on many stages in Belgium, France, Serbia and Cyprus and on their own they form a strong duo as well.
With each their own characteristic ideas they bring a unique merge of gypsy music, traditional songs, musette and swing, perfect for every occasion from chamber concerts to festivals.
The duo can be expanded to a quartet featuring a rhythm guitar and a double bass (for example during bigger events and long concerts etc.)
