The Sound

Virtuoso Argentine guitarist Dario Acosta Teich and multilingual singer-songwriter Eleanor Dubinsky bring together people from all over the world with their fresh interpretations. Their repertoire includes popular and original songs - from jazz to music from Latin America and France. Her style is described as joyful, uplifting and especially warm. Whether on a real or virtual stage, the New York duo's elegant performances transcend genre and national boundaries to celebrate the healing power of music.
