Vuelo Manginot
What is Vuelo Manginot? Vuelo is the spanish word for flight, and Manginot is the hebrew word for melodies.
This project is a combination of two musicians that develop their own language through melodic expression. The inspiration of flight is created by the feeling that the music can take the listener and the musicians through different worlds.
It happens due to the readiness of the players to constantly react to the moment, take risks and streach the musical boundries.
This intuition that allows both Daniel and Alex to improvise is fulfilled with a rich backround in Classical, Jazz and different folk music from around the world.
