Escarteen Sisters is a string quartet in a duo; two sisters, a viola, and a cello. They sing and play at the same time, using the instrument to accompany the voice and vice versa. Their work is characterized by the intimate and raw interaction between two sisters who have been making music together since childhood. One of the main pillars of their artistic work is the multiculturalism in the family. Being half Flemish, half Spanish, born in Mexico and Belgium. In the compositions of the second album and the upcoming one, you can hear chamber-like textures with folk-inspired melodies, African pygmy rhythms, and jazz harmonies combined with original texts sung in Spanish, Catalan, Dutch and English. With their debut album “Escarteen Sisters” (2018) and second album “Caure Sistingut” (2024) they toured around Europe and Middle East. The Escarteen Sisters are winners of the First Price of “Acoustic Music Barcelona Awards” (2018), also won the Best Arrangement and Best Interpretation in “Andrea Parodi Contest” (2023) and were finalists in the competition “Jazz Alghero” (2019). The two sisters collaborated with Silvia Perez Cruz, Marco Mezquida, Guillem Roma, Julien Padovani, and among others.
