Caroline Bugala/Thomas Fonnesbæk Duo
Wednesday den 25. February kl. 20:00 - 22:15
Caroline Bugala made her debut at La Fontaine with just two songs during a jam session—and by the time she walked off stage, the bartender had already called the owner, insisting she be booked for the club. Since then, she has become one of the venue’s most beloved musicians. This evening, she performs in a duo with the virtuoso bassist Thomas Fonnesbæk, renowned for his melodic ingenuity and world-class technical skill. Together, they deliver an intense and intimate encounter between violin and double bass, full of power, lyricism, and infectious joy.
