Dermot Dunne's accordion brings both poise and playfulness to the mix, and Ariel Hernandez' superb guitar lines sit beneath a voice that could only have been born beneath a southern star. ” - The Irish Times

Many concert-goers will remember the duo of Argentinian guitarist and singer Ariel Hernandez with Irish accordionist Dermot Dunne. Between 2003-2010, the pair brought the excitement and passion of Latin music to Irish audiences from the National Concert Hall to Belfast Opera House, Vicar Street, Farmleigh House, the Bray Jazz Festival, Dún Laoghaire Festival of World Cultures and beyond. The duo intricately combined Ariel’s soulful voice and playing with Dermot’s instrumental flair, in a range of styles from the familiar Tango to the lesser known Chacarera, Zamba and Chamamé.
