About Me

Flo and Rob offer you a contemporary fusion of African and Western styles, with a shot of classical thrown in for good measure. Matter of fact, it's so different it's really hard to genre-fy. But if you like old-style dance and house, or adult contemporary, then this might just be for you... Have a great day listening to - or making - music. Ciao.
