Loogaroo

Loogaroo is the result of two musicians who have been performing together for over ten years. After leading various groups at the crossroads of folk and other genres, Florian De Schepper and Pablo Golder now present themselves in their purest, most vulnerable, yet also most powerful form: the duo.

It took several years for the two musicians to embark on the Loogaroo adventure, and what emerged is a project of great musical maturity. Despite one musician having graduated from a classical conservatory and the other having no knowledge of written music, they have both learned to build a broad common musical connection between Pablo’s wild accordion melodies and Florian’s surprising guitar chord choices. Along with the space they allow for improvisation, the duo creates a new sound in Belgian folk music.

In the summer of 2022, they released their first album "Nautilus" under Trad Records, followed by a series of concerts in Belgium and the Netherlands in the fall of 2022. "Both are excellent composers and offer fresh and original music, far from the usual paths. 'Nautilus' is an album with unexpected solutions in every track; it surprises, entertains, and moves you—a true breath of fresh air in the world music panorama. Not to be missed!" says Riccardo Tesi.
