Their unique blend of Balkan irregular rhythms and many other international influences evokes the beauty of the Mediterranean and Oriental mysticism. They have been performing for domestic and international audiences for 30 years (in the US, Russia, UK, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Poland, United Arab Emirates, Belgium, Netherlands, Greece, Hungary, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Albania), presenting their own compositions which invoke the "languages" of classical and flamenco guitar. Their works are varied in terms of character, style, technique, rhythm, and tempo, and share a common thread of Montenegrin traditional music, movie soundtracks, world music, and popular contemporary movements. They have published nine albums: 'Duo' (2001), 'Nostalgia' (2005), 'Touch of Montenegro' (2011), 'Synergy' (2012), 'Ritmico' (Radio Television of Montenegro, 2015), 'The Best of Montenegro' (2016), 'Balkan, Mediterranean, Orient' (PGP RTS, 2017), 'The Sea' (Naxos Records, 2018), and 'Peninsula' (Naxos Records, 2020).
