Duo Khordē is a ensamble of two young talents, Pablo Garibay (guitar) and Jacinta Barbachano (soprano), whose musical maturity surprises when listening to them masterfully interpret little-known works and new works from the contemporary Mexican music repertoire besides from the classic. Within its ambitious shared project, Duo Khordē has as its main objective the correct fusion and musical balance, only achievable thanks to its consolidated professional level. The execution and musical understanding between the two distinguish Duo Khordē, two instruments in harmony, which promise a future of beautiful and innovative melodies for any sensitive ear.
