ZAWA ZAWA consists of two internationally acclaimed musicians and artists: Lisa Nordström (flute, voice, electronics) / Mika Takehara (vibraphone, percussion). A dynamic meeting between two very expressive and highly individual artistic spheres. Musically, they move seamlessly between composition and improvisation in an organic exploration of acoustic and electronic sonic landscapes.
