In 2010, Mathias came up with the idea to bring together three traditional violins virtuosos. It was the first time that the Indian sarangi, the Chinese erhu, and the Mongolian morin khuur were played together on stage and on an album, united by Mathias Duplessy’s flamenco guitar.

 

After the success of the first album “Marco Polo”, which was praised by André Manoukian as a “bridge braided together out of horsehair between European classical music and Asia”, Mathias and his string brothers recorded “Crazy Horse”, with a more blues and celtic sound, notably thanks to the addition Aliocha’s nickelharpa (Swedish Vielle). Their videos have been met with widespread acclaim (20 million views on Facebook) and propel the band onto stages around the world…

A self-taught musician, Mathias has been composing and playing guitar since he was six years old. His first passion was for classical music, in particular Ravel, who remains an endless source of inspiration. Then he discovered jazz music, and played Miles Davis and John Coltrane on his Walkman on his way to school.
