Chris Gall & Mulo Francel:

From Bavaria to the Balkans to Bolivia. Together, pianist Chris Gall and saxophonist Mulo Francel have turned night into day in Buenos Aires as part of platinum-selling group Quadro Nuevo.

Now – more than 25 year after first meeting in a small Alpine town outside of Munich – these two dazzling figures of the European music scene present their debut duo album together, Mythos.

Altought they’re colleagues from the from the German most selling and gigging world music group Quadro Nuevo, the idea of this album began at the end of a hard climb of Kerkis, the highest mountain on the Greek island of Samos. From there, sparkling under the glistening southern sun, lies the sea of Icarus, enshrined in Greek mythology. And so, the song Ikarus’ Dream, shown in this video, was born.
