AmoRRoma is the brainchild of Jowan Merckx, who is at home in early music and in traditional European dance music ‘balfolk’. In his work he is exploring new grounds trying to bring together the best of both worlds. The result of this craftmanship is a kind of gentle ‘chamber music’ you can dance to, songs to dance to and dances to sing to. The music has touches of the past and still sounds new. This is a music trip around central Europe, with flavours of French chanson, valse musette and early music. It is original dance music that has a place on the concert stage as well. 

Sarah L. Ridy, on arpa doppia, is new to the group and proves a perfect companion. She brings her skills and taste as an accomplished player. Guest musicians singer Elly Aerden and bass player Vincent Noiret contribute where necessary.
