Vivianna and Mariano met in Buenos Aires in 2017.
Their common passion for music is what has brought them together.
Their project 'The Passion Crossroad / Pasiones Cruzadas' was presented for the first time at Centro Cultural Nestor Kirchner, in March 2017 under the auspices and organization of the Greek Embassy in Buenos Aires.
The concert has been presented at the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Athens, at Pattihio Theater Limassol in September 2017, at the Festival of the University of Cyprus 2017, in Argentina (Mar del Plata, Pinamar, Buenos Aires), and will be presented in London in May – June 2018 (Hellenic Center / Under the auspices of the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in London).
Both artists are oriented towards performing music from their countries (Medieval Cypriot, Greek traditional, and Argentinean Tango), as well as compositions by Carlo Domeniconi, Astor Piazzolla, Roland Dyens, Mariano Gil, and others.
Their activity includes concerts, performances, and various projects, as well as their two personal albums, recently released.
