Acoustic ethnic folk music project
Welcome to our website!
Since 2019 The project “Acoustic ethnic folk music” are musical performances proposed by Mike Ianosi in collaboration with Tenzen and other musicians, using acoustic and ethinc instruments. It is important to us to spread our music to all social classes and all ages. We propose 4 types of music performances:
– Concerts of ethnic folk compositions (or covers)
– Sound meditation (wellness) sessions of sound baths with powerful vibrant instruments
– Special musical ambiences with our ethnic instruments
– Didgeridoo workshops and lessons
Mike & Tenzen are a duo of musicians authors and composers, playing each several instruments. Our aim is to spread the positive experience of acoustic music to the listeners and the sounds and playability of and ethnic instruments where the didgeridoo plays a main role.
Our strengths are our knowledge and mastering of our numerous instruments and our ability to combine their sounds. Combined, we play the didgeridoo, the guitar, bass guitar, irish bouzouki, greec bouzouki, flute recorders (from bass to picolo) shruti box, singing, gong, kalimba, xaphoon, jaw harps, melodica, singing bowls, xylophone, erhu, shamanic drums, shakers, asalatos, etc… Our musical influences are folk, celtic and world music (asian, native american, australian, arabian, etc)

The passion for acoustics
The acoustic ethnic folk music project was born with the didgeridoo in 2012. It opened the path to the existing worldwide ethnic and folk music instruments and a certain interest in learning to play them. These music instruments have been invented by humans throughout the last 40000 years. Their origins are from different countries and continents but they all have something in common. These instruments are divided in 4 categories:
– percussions
– strings
– wind
– the voice
The acoustics of ethnic instruments lead to a state of well-being and even provoke sensations and feelings. The musical performances that Mike & Tenzen propose, the wellness activities, workshops on how to master one self through music and instruments practice, all lead to the same path.
It is to awaken each to their own knowledge and development.
