In 2000, during a short visit of Daniel to Peru, he met Francisco and from the very first moment when they changed ideas on their musical favorite themes they noted a total coincidence that gave them the base within two years to form a duo mid 2002. In their repertoire you can find themes that go from rural folk, to gospel music and to bluegrass hits from bands such as Lonesome River Band, The Bluegrass Album Band, Hot Rize and also some compositions of their own.
