Biography

Osuna is a flexible project depending on the demand, ranging from a duo project to a quintet performing meditative music based on traditional vocal and instrumental music styles and improvisations. Osuna explores rich harmonies in dialogues between Anatolian strings (saz, tanbur) and the South-Siberian Khakass zither chatkhan, with surprising trips ranging from odd-metre Balkan rhythms, Central-Asian overtone singing, vocals from Anatolia, the "Mediterranean Zone", Nordic realms, Gaelic sean-nós songs, medieval ballads.... sometimes with the subtle accompaniment of guests with extra timbres, percussion or even double bass.
