‘This meeting of classical guitarist Esther Steenbergen with Eric Calmes (electric bass) and percussionists Enrique Firpi and Roël Calister takes a major risk but emerges triumphant …’
Classical Guitar

I wanted to play the Latin American repertoire with a rhythm section and there for asked bass player Eric Calmes and drummer Enrique Firpi to join me. It worked out perfectly. We performed in the Netherlands, Greece, Germany, Poland and Indonesia and recorded two albums:  Repertoire en New!

Trejos Brothers

When the trio was asked to perform in Colombia, Eric was hard to get in touch with and Ernique already booked. I searched the internet and found Camilo en Sebastián Trejos, two Colombian brothers who play out of their skin.
