Coincidences by Valentí Moya & Joan Pau Cumellas

This disc is a meeting of minds of two musicians with a shared love of jazz manouche. Two friends who have played together in concerts and sessions for years have finally recorded their own 'coincidences'. A selection of songs where guitar and harmonica pay sincere homage to swing. With numbers by maestro Django Reinhardt, popular tunes and their own compositions.
An innovative format with Valentín's masterly guitar lighting the way for Joan Pau's diatonic harmonica, fully establishing it as an instrument in this field. And together they offer us a unique and evocative musical approach.
