About us
This musical duo, born in February 2020, is formed by Derque Martín Cruz on timple and Nicolás Mendoza Melián on guitar. This project was born with the purpose of uniting two paths, on the one hand the timple, expanding musical literature for this Canarian instrument, and the Guitar, with a wide and extensive repertoire that covers all musical styles and, in turn, It is standardized throughout the world.
This union also gives the possibility of expanding the borders of timple, with very diverse styles such as classical music, jazz, folklore and/or own composition, the latter, without defining a specific style, but with influences received throughout of our academic and fundamental musical training.

In the first instance, and with the timple being an instrument with formal training at the Canary Islands Conservatory, we have treated this duo with the aim of this same work also being worked on with the students of both centers.
In this first work of 14 works, we find musical styles from different cultural backgrounds and countries, such as: Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and the United States.
We have always felt great admiration for the music of these geographical areas and in this first edition we decided to discover them through composers such as Celso Machado, Michael Langer, Manuel M. Ponce, Paul Desmond, etc.
We have taken the step of showing our editorial and recording musical work in various places in the Canary Islands.
