Only geographically are there boundaries.
Drummer/ percussionist Alex Acuña was born in the western part of Peru and raised in Puerto Rico and the USA. Electric/ acoustic bassist Per Mathisen is from the eastern part of Norway. Pianist/synth maestro Jan Gunnar Hoff is from the northern part of Norway.

‘Barxeta’ is the second album from the band, which since forming in 2008 has toured extensively. Individually, their pedigrees are impeccable. Alex is perhaps best known for his many years with Weather Report. His encyclopaedic list of credits runs from Elvis to Ella and includes concerts and recordings with the likes of Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock
and Joe Zawinul. Per is also very comfortably established on the international jazz scene. He has worked with amongst others Terry Lyne Carrington, Geri Allen, Gary Thomas, Bill Bruford and Ralph Peterson. Jan Gunnar has worked with luminaries such as Pat Metheny, Mike Stern, Chick Corea and John Surman.
