Dúo Absalon Guitar and Violin Duo. Versatile repertoire: Film Scores, Classical, originals..

We are a versatile duo (Guitar & Violin). We can perform acoustically or amplified. Our basic requirements are:
Performance Space: Minimum 3x2 meters area.
Furniture: 2 armless chairs (essential for performance).
Power: 1x Standard power socket (220v) near the stage.
If using Venue's Sound System: We require 2 monitors, 1 DI Box (Active), and 1 instrument mic (clip-on preferred).

We need details on loading/unloading access and parking availability. Additionally, information about the room acoustics and size is very helpful, as it allows us to decide whether to perform strictly acoustically (unplugged) or use our amplification system to ensure the best sound quality.

Yes, we are fully self-contained. For audiences up to 100-120 people, we bring our own high-quality PA system: an LD Systems MAUI 5 GO 100 (battery-powered for outdoor/remote locations) and a Behringer X1204 USB mixing desk. We also provide a basic lighting rig with 2 spotlights to set the mood.

Yes, absolutely. We can play background music through our PA system before the show and during breaks. We are happy to curate a playlist that matches the event's atmosphere, or we can connect a client's device if they prefer their own playlist.

As a duo, our most magical performance was at the historic "Ermita de las Fuentes" in Ávila. The venue had an indescribable atmosphere, but the highlight was the audience's reaction: a long standing ovation that confirmed the special chemistry of our project.

Individually, we bring extensive experience: Manuel (Guitar) has performed at prestigious venues like the Ateneo de Madrid and Sala Clamores, while Carla (Violin) has played in major orchestral settings such as the Musika-Música Festival in Bilbao.

We love variety. We specifically designed our repertoire to fit perfectly in elegant weddings, corporate events, cocktail receptions, and intimate recitals. We don't have a single favorite type; rather, our goal is to adapt to the moment. Whether providing a sophisticated background for a corporate cocktail or performing a concert for an attentive audience, we enjoy creating the perfect emotional atmosphere for each occasion.

Dúo Absalón is a unique Father & Daughter project born from a shared passion.

Manuel (Guitar): Brings over 30 years of experience as a composer, producer, and guitarist. His instrumental music is widely recognized, currently reaching over 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Carla (Violin): A professional violinist who graduated from the Conservatory in 2024. She combines classical discipline with a fresh interest in Jazz, Musicals, and Pop. We started gigging together to blend experience with youth, offering a performance that is both technically skilled and deeply emotional.

Our influences are eclectic, bridging the gap between genres. We are inspired by the cinematic melodies of John Williams, the gypsy-jazz swing of Django Reinhardt & Stéphane Grappelli, and the fusion passion of Ara Malikian & Fernando Egozcue.

However, our "greatest song" isn't a cover—it's our Original Music. While we love playing classics, Jazz, and Soundtracks, we pride ourselves on performing our own compositions, offering clients something truly unique and personal.

We combine over 30 years of professional experience with fresh, conservatory-trained talent. With a massive reach of over 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify , our music is proven to resonate with diverse audiences, ensuring a high-quality and memorable experience

We typically arrive 90 minutes before the start time to load in, set up, and soundcheck, ensuring everything is perfect before guests arrive.
Our standard performance format is 2 x 45-minute sets. However, we are very flexible and can adapt to the event's schedule—for example, playing 3 shorter sets or a continuous 60-minute performance depending on the client's needs.

Yes, absolutely. Our battery-powered LD Systems PA allows us to perform in gardens, forests, or locations without immediate power access.
Requirements for outdoor use:
Shade: As we play high-quality wooden instruments, we require a shaded area (umbrella, tree, or marquee) to protect them from direct sunlight.
Surface: A flat, dry surface.
Power: While we are battery-operated, we appreciate access to a power point within 20 meters as a backup or for lighting.

Yes, we want our music to be the soundtrack of your special day. Clients are welcome to select their favorites from our repertoire list. Furthermore, we are happy to learn a special song (e.g., for a bridal entrance or first dance) that is not on our list, to make the moment truly unique.

Clients frequently describe us as "Elegant, Professional, and Emotional." Our goal is to connect with the audience; in fact, our most recent performances have ended with standing ovations. We strive to create a sophisticated atmosphere where the music not only sounds good but also touches the heart.
