Loukoum

This exciting trio out of Brooklyn, NY combines their passion for world music with vivacious creativity to attain a fresh new sound which is both eclectic and undeniably unique. Their malleable instrumentation of guitar, accordion, and violin permits them to play music from all over the world including songs from Irish, French, Eastern European, Latin, and Gypsy traditions. The trio has also been known to adapt and arrange songs from the pop/rock genre and foreign film scores to fit their instrumentation. Improvisation and original compositions are an important part of their repertoire as well. Loukoum's cutting edge sound transforms any setting whether it be a bar, restaurant, art gallery, street festival or wedding, and brings a feeling of intrigue and sophistication. Formally trained in classical performance, jazz performance, and music composition at the Hartt School of Music, Loukoum features Kate Dunphy on accordion, Nathan Pape on Guitar, and Danielle Turano on Violin.
