We are thrilled to introduce you to the latest addition to our artist roster: one of the upcoming new bands from the Nordic Folk & World music scene Symbio!
With a magical interplay of hurdy-gurdy & accordion, an electrifying stage presence and captivating original
compositions – the duo has become known as a phenomenon and have toured extensively in more than 20
countries – Europe, USA and Canada. In 2023 the duo was chosen to perform as the Official Showcase Artist
Selection at WOMEX – World Music Expo.
The music of Symbio has been described as mesmerizing and soulful – where virtuoso folk & electronic dance
music meet and becomes a cinematic experience for the listener. Hearing this symphonic duo makes you
doubt about the fact that they are only two musicians on stage.
They have played at numerous international festivals such as the EBU Radio Folk at Rudolstadt (GER), the
International Folk Alliance Conferencein the USA, the Nordic Folk Alliance in Denmark, the Mundial
Montréal conference in Canada, the Tallin Music Week, Estonia, and the Folk Expo in Spain and can now be booked exclusively through o-tone music in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Their fourth album will be published in 2025.
