Matthew McAllister and Feargus Hetherington have been performing as a duo for several years. The genesis of this new quartet was borne out of a successful collaboration on their 2005 album, Maelasta, which saw Aisling Agnew and Douglas Whates join the duo for Piazzolla’s Libertango and Gismonti’s Agua e Vinho. The sound was addictive and the joy of playing together was such that it proved only a matter of time before the new quartet emerged.

The unusual combination of instruments emotes a distinctive sound – one that is more synonymous with traditional Latin American music than Western art music. Whether it’s a simple Cuban habanera or a fiery Argentinian tango, the quartet relish this rich tradition, delivering fascinating arrangements and interesting twists on repertoire both old and new.
