    Thomas Bredsdorff-Larsen (double bass)*, Christer Irgens-Møller (piano, strings, vocal), Tao Thykier (darbuka)

    Zinkadus plays music by Irgens-Møller and Bredsdorff-Larsen. The two have played together since 2010 both with roots in African music. The rep is jazz inspired - with spices from The Middle East. Includes odd meters, solos, songs - all with a rythmic punch.
    *) Thomas died † 15.9.2013. R.I.P.

    Aida photos from the practice room in Skovvangs school, by Gunnar Hougaard, alias Saul Panzer.
    Gunnar was the dedidated roadie of the band.
    At the photos figures Karsten Houmark, Carsten Erichsen, Steen Toft Andersen, Lars Conrad (while Christer is photographed from the back). See them at "Gunnarsgear"
    'Aida' got an aftermath at the rock group "Ache"'s "Blå som altid" (Blue as usual 1977), in which Steen Toft Andersen played the bass. It became the title of a theme that Christer and Karsten had used for jamming since the days in their first band Sindbad (Axel Bredsdorff, bass, and Klaus Pedersen, drums, 1970-72). Steen Toft Andersen recorded the theme as Aida as the second part of the song "Du får vinger nu" (Now you will fly). He ascribed the music to Karsten and Christer.
