The Troubadours is an eclectic Detroit based music group focusing on original compositions and arrangements. The ensemble draws on a variety of influences including worldbeat, rock, classical, jazz and flamenco to form its own unique musical statement. Danzas Urbanas is the groups second recording which consists of nine original works, two classical guitar duets and an arrangement of a Cuban son made popular by the Buena Vista Social Club.
The Group was formed as a classical guitar duet while Mike and Dave were studying at Wayne State University. As the duo began expanding their repertoire by adding original compositions and arrangements, they brought on Sean and Jason to enhance their burgeoning sound. The new direction allowed the group to exploit ethnic and traditional rhythms, creating a full backdrop for the classical guitars.
