Vasilis Kostas & Layth Sidiq Duo at Blackman Hall, Indian Hill Music

About

Vasilis Kostas - laouto | Layth Sidiq – violin

Borrowing elements from jazz and other contemporary styles, this inventive duo always seeks to capture the magic that emerges when following the thread of expanding the boundaries of musical traditions. Laouto player Vasilis Kostas and violinist Layth Sidiq met many miles from their respective home countries in Boston. The former is Greek, the latter Jordanian-Iraqi and their duo aims to highlight the musical roots of their countries while using them as a basis for exploring new ways of improvising, writing and arranging.
