About this user

After graduation at the Academy for Music
in Hilversum, I decided to pack my
bags and to depart to Portugal for a
musical discovery journey through the
land of fado. I experienced the
musical beauty not only of Lisbon, the
Alentjo and the Algarve, but also the tonal
atmosphere of northern Portugal.

About the musicians:
Jeroen Becx studied guitar at the Sweelinck
Conservatorium Amsterdam and in Vercelli,
Italy. He graduated in 1985 as performing
musician. He played the Portuguese guitarra invarious Fado groups and he made Fado ar-
rangements for the Ricciotti Ensemble.

Hans van Gelderen graduated in 1991 and
achieved the UM Certificate Classical Guitar atthe Sweelinck Conservatorium Amsterdam.
Since 1996 Hans has been a member of
various Fado-ensembles. These ensembles
released numerous cd's, which feature a
number of compositions made by Hans.

Remus Aussen plays the 4-, 5-, and 6-strings
base guitars with the Jazz-Rock Formation
Jalafuro and the all-round band Sunset Boule-
vard. As double base player he is engaged
with the Gipsy Orchestra Scala and Hot Club
