Art Roho with Lucy Luan & Fynn Cai
Art Roho feat. Lucy Luan & Fynn Cai is a project born in autumn ‘23. Art Roho met Lucy during their stay in China. They had a common curiosity for exploring how their different musical traditions could mutually enrich each other.
They had one performance together so extraordinary, that they all knew that this unique sound and common musical esthetics, was something special and had to be explored furthermore.
Lucy, having previously worked with Fynn, suggested him to be part of the project. With his capacity to lead the melody they could broaden their musical span even more and now, the ensemble boasted an equal partnership of Danish and Chinese musicians.
They decided on a repertoire spanning over traditional Chinese music, jazz standards, compositions crafted specifically for this ensemble and the sound of contemporary pop artists such as Billie Eilish.
