Kazemi, Sandoval & Cia (Spanish equivalent of ...and Co.) is composed of the varied musical talents of Arash Kazemi (classical Spanish guitar and vocals) and Javier Sandoval (vocals and Spanish guitar).

Javier took a temporary break from his musical training in Spain 34 years ago. Arash also has a formal musical education and is continuing his classical guitar studies in DIT Rathmines, Dublin. Both are Spanish and live in Dublin.

Life is too short and complex to explain how they met and why they perform together, but let’s just say that the decision was taken on the 46A bus in Donnybrook in 2009.

The recent arrival of French violinist Lucile Vigour adds a touch of je ne sais quoi to their repertoire. Lucile has played in several youth orchestras on the Continent and had a promising career before coming to Ireland to play with the afore-mentioned virtuosos.

* Arash is the serious one showing great concentration.
* Lucile is the only one smiling (smile, guys!).
